STATA comes with a set of sample data files. This helps the learner in understanding how different set of tests can be applied to single data.

Data entered in STATA can be classified either as numeric or string type. Associated with each type of data is its storage type i.e. the numbers are stored as byte, int, long, float, or double. STATA takes “float” as the default storage type for its variables.

Do-file is an interface in Stata which allows the researcher to compile all the commands and results at one place. Once the commands are stored in do file, one do not need to enter the command again.

STATA, like SPSS is a smart data analysis tool used for data management and analysis. It is a fast and easy to use, across all operating systems such as Windows, Unix and Mac.
