Stata MP 18
Stata MP: High-Performance Computing for Data Analysis Stata/MP (Multiprocessing) is the flagship edition of Stata designed for multi-core processors and large-scale data analysis. Below are its core features: 1. Parallel Computing Capabilities Supports up to 64 CPU cores, achieving near-linear speedups (e.g., ~8x faster on 8-core machines for linear regression). Dual-core systems are 1.8x faster than Stata/SE, quadruple-core systems 2.8x faster. 2. Scalability for Big Data Handles datasets with 200 billion observations (expandable to 1 trillion). Supports 120,000 variables, surpassing Stata/SE’s 32,000 limit. 3. Enhanced Functionalities High-Dimensional Fixed Effects (HDFE): Optimized for panel data models. Bayesian Variable Selection: Improves regression model accuracy. Panel VAR Models: Analyzes dynamic relationships in panel data. 4. User Experience Do-file Editor: Auto-completion and code folding...
