A review of stata 2.1
评述Stata 2.1在数据管理、统计分析和图形方面的能力，指出其计量经济学功能虽易用但不如现有软件全面，未来版本有望改进。
Abstract STATA 2.1 offers state‐of‐the‐art data management features and statistical procedures capable of handling very large data sets. Its graphics capabilities are excellent as well. Although the package performs a respectable array of econometrics procedures quickly and easily, its menu of available techniques is relatively weak compared to existing econometrics packages. However, since STATA plans a new release to be aimed at the econometrics market, this shortcoming could be mitigated substantially in future versions.
