STATA is an integrated software package used for complex statistical, visualization, reporting, and data management tasks. The software includes statistical tools for all standard procedures (e.g., linear models, cluster analysis, etc.) as well as functions for complex techniques (survival models, multiple imputation, etc.). STATA's strengths lie in the statistical analysis of time-based data.
Since STATA is not available as free software, you need a valid license to use it. This license allows access to STATA both on your computer and in Jupyter. The University of Hamburg offers students and staff appropriate licenses through the RRZ service portal.
As soon as you have been assigned the license rights, STATA will automatically be available under the path
/apps/stata18 the next time you log in to Jupyter. No additional installation or setup of a license file is required.Example in Python
The necessary packages are already installed, so you can use STATA directly in Python:
import stata_setup
stata_setup.config("/apps/stata18", "mp")
