Stata (/ˈsttə/,[2] STAY-ta, alternatively /ˈstætə/, occasionally stylized as STATA[3][4]) is a general-purpose statistical software package developed by StataCorp for data manipulation, visualization, statistics, and automated reporting. It is used by researchers in many fields, including biomedicine, economics, epidemiology, and sociology.[5]

Stata was initially developed by Computing Resource Center in California and the first version was released in 1985.[6] In 1993, the company moved to College Station, Texas and was renamed Stata Corporation, now known as StataCorp.[1] A major release in 2003 included a new graphics system and dialog boxes for all commands.[6] Since then, a new version has been released once every two years.[7] The current version is Stata 18, released in April 2023.[8]
