Stata Software
Stata is a widely-used integrated software package that provides data manipulation, visualization, and statistical capabilities. The university has a license for Stata MP2 v18 for use by faculty, staff and students on campus-owned machines and off campus on personal machines for academic use. The software is available for download to local or remote machines and is installed on Yale Library’s public and cloud machines, and at YCRC.
January 2, 2025 Update
Central IT has obtained a site license for Stata MP4 to replace the University’s previous Stata MP2 site license that expired on December 27, 2024.
The current Stata MP4 license will be active through June 30, 2025. This shortened license period is an interim step to align future annual licensing periods with the University’s fiscal year starting on July 1.
