Check out the hotelling command.  I think the T2 is what you want.

Subject: st: Calculating Mahalanobis distance

Hi all,

Does anyone know whether Stata has a pre-programmed command to compute Mahalanobis distance? So far, I've manually computed the Euclidean distance between two sets of firms in a dataset, but I need to compute the Mahalanobis distance. If Stata cannot do this, perhaps someone knows how to do it in Excel (i.e., how do I modify the formula for calculating Euclidean distance into one for Mahalanobis distance)?

All the very best and many thanks in advance,
