One may have to sacrifice the number of variables for the number of observations, or vice versa, depending on the package. The specific Stata package ( Stata/IC, Stata/SE, and Stata/MP) limits the size of usable datasets.Can only hold one dataset in memory at a time.Works well with panel, survey, and time-series data.Some user written programs are available to install.Syntax mainly used, but menus are an option as well.Older versions of Stata cannot read newer versions of Stata datasets, but newer versions can save in the format of older versions.Newer versions of Stata can read datasets, commands, graphs, etc., from older versions, and in doing so, reproduce results.dat), SAS (.XPT), Other (.XML), and various ODBC data sources do syntax file, where commands can be written and saved The graphical user interface (menus and dialog boxes) was released in 2003.The name Stata is a syllabic abbreviation of the words statistics and data.Stata was first released in January 1985 as a regression and data management package with 44 commands, written by Bill Gould and Sean Becketti.Absence of some robust methods (regression: 2SLS, LAD, Quantile).Graphs and data tables are dynamically linked.Great interface for easily managing output.Interface for using R from within and add-in for Excel.SAS, R and MATLAB can be executed using JSL.Ability to lasso outliers on a graph and regraph without the outliers.Dynamic interface can be used to zoom and change view.Drag and Drop Graph Editor will try to guess what chart is correct for your data.dat), SAS (.sas7bdat), Stata (.dta), SPSS (.sav) Engineering: Six Sigma, Quality Control, Scientific Research, Design of Experiments.Five products: JMP, JMP Pro, JMP Clinical, JMP Genomics, JMP Graph Builder App.Orginally stood for 'John's Macintosh Program'.Created in the 1980s by John Sall to take advantage of the graphical user interface introduced by Macintosh.
