In January 1985, Stata 1.0 was released. For over forty years, StataCorp has been a leader in statistical software, dedicated to providing the tools professional researchers need to analyze their data.
At StataCorp, we do not just program statistical methods; we validate them. Every copy of our software that we ship has passed a certification suite that includes 7.2 million lines of testing code that produces 6 million lines of output. Every number and piece of text from those 6 million lines of output is certified.
We do not stop there. We provide our customers with extensive documentation that explains the many data management, statistics, graphics, programming, and reporting features.
