The statistical environment used across economics, epidemiology and the social sciences, with the complete estimation command set and a reproducible do file workflow.
Stata is a complete statistical package built around one dataset in memory and a command language that reads almost like English. You type a command, it runs against the data, and the result prints to the results window. That model sounds primitive next to a notebook interface until you have to reproduce an analysis somebody ran years ago, at which point a do file of plain commands is the most durable artefact in the building.
The estimation coverage is the reason it stays installed in economics and public health departments. Linear and generalised linear models, panel data with fixed and random effects, instrumental variables, survival analysis, multilevel mixed models, structural equation modelling, time series with the full ARIMA and VAR family, survey weighted estimation, treatment effects, causal inference and multiple imputation are all first party commands with consistent syntax and consistent output tables. Every estimation command stores its results in the same place, so post estimation testing works the same way regardless of what you just fitted.
Data management is handled by the same command set rather than a separate tool. Merging, reshaping between wide and long, collapsing, by group processing, string and date handling, labelling of variables and values, and a strict variable type system that will refuse to quietly turn a categorical code into a float. The labelling in particular is what makes a Stata dataset self documenting years later, since the labels travel inside the file.
Graphics are programmable in the same way. Scatter, line, bar, box, histogram, kernel density, coefficient plots and margins plots all take the same option grammar, and any graph can be saved as a scheme and reapplied across a whole paper so every figure matches. The build also carries the full PDF and Word document generation commands, so tables and figures can be pushed straight into a manuscript without a manual copy pass.

| Processor | Any 64 bit multicore processor |
|---|---|
| Memory | 4 GB minimum, 16 GB or more for large panel datasets |
| Storage | 3 GB free during install, 2 GB after |
| Display | 1280 by 800 or higher |
| Other | Datasets are held entirely in memory, so plan RAM around your largest file |
Set the memory allocation on first launch if you work with large panels. The default is conservative and will refuse to load a file that would otherwise fit.
Community written ado packages install into your personal folder and survive upgrades, so keep that folder backed up.
