Stata is an integrated statistical software package from StataCorp LLC that combines statistics, visualization, data manipulation, and reporting in a single platform, addressing the need for reproducible data analysis. It supports backward compatibility so that code and datasets from older versions continue to run in current releases.

Core capabilities include regression and time-series analysis, panel data, survival models, causal inference, Bayesian analysis, and machine learning via H2O, CATE, and HDFE. It offers publication-quality graphics exportable to EPS, PNG, PDF, SVG, and TIFF; data management tools for cleaning, reshaping, merging, and handling missing values; and automated reporting with exports to Word, Excel, PDF, and HTML. Python integration, AI tools, and dynamic documents are available. Editions include Stata/BE, Stata/MP, and StataNow, which delivers certified features between major releases. Stata runs on supported desktop operating systems and is licensed per user, with annual and multi-year maintenance options available.
