Stata

Stata is a locally installed desktop platform for data management, exploration, visualization, statistical analysis, reporting, and reproducible research. Its methods include regression, time-series, panel-data, survival, causal inference, Bayesian analysis, and machine learning. Data import options include Excel, CSV and delimited text, SAS, SPSS, Parquet, dBase, SQL databases via JDBC or ODBC, FRED, and Haver. Stata also supports Python, Jupyter Notebook, Java, and other integrations. Reports can be exported to Word, Excel, PDF, HTML, and Markdown, while graphs can be exported to EPS, PNG, PDF, SVG, or TIFF. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows; it is not SaaS. Prof+ annual license prices start at $175 a year and require eligibility as faculty or staff at an accredited, degree-granting university, with proof of affiliation. Instructors can request a free one-week license, and eligible instructors can request a free six-month Stata/BE license for undergraduate classes. The platform states it has no extra modules or hidden costs.
