Avis sur Stata
Stata pour une analyse statistique
Commentaires : Stata m'a permis de faire des analyses statistiques de plusieurs données
Avantages :
Toutes les fonctionnalités sont importantes pour le logiciel
Inconvénients :
L'inconvénient est qu'il faut une formation approfondie pour maîtriser stata
Excellent for econometric analysis.
Commentaires : There are some things that Stata does extremely well - the statistics and econometrics in particular. And it does these things reliably and fast, with a good support network. If you're willing to pay for it, performance is even better - using up to 64 cores. But for more general purpose statistical work, R is not only free, but better (even though it is more buggy).
Avantages :
This is statistical programming software that is excellent for canned econometric procedures. Reliable and fast, with a huge library of procedures built in, and an even bigger user-contributed library. Online support through the statalist forum is also amazing. It also has a matrix programming language (Mata). The graphics capabilities are also easy to use and very high quality. Has a lot of related features like heatmaps, producing production-quality regression tables, etc.
Inconvénients :
This software is expensive. You're paying for something that is reliable, tried and true, with a great support network. But there are other free options, such as R. Furthermore, while this is excellent for canned statistical and econometric procedures, the programming language itself is not anywhere near as developed as something like R. For example, work with text etc is out of the picture. It is quite un-intuitive for someone coming with a programming background, and has weird quirks - such as only being able to keep on dataset in memory at a time. These issues mean that achieving what could be achieved in 3 lines of code in another language, might take 100s in Stata.

Stata is the best.
Commentaires : I have found Stata to be capable of doing 99% of the things I need a stats program to do, and it does them quickly, efficiently, and without much work on my part. Most issues I have run into with Stata are user-generated, and quickly solved by referencing Stata's extensive documentation or its very strong Stata discussion community. That said, it was a bit intimidating at first, being that it's mainly command-driven rather than menu-driven. This creates a slight issue when trying to bring coworkers who haven't used Stata before into the fold.
Avantages :
I enjoy the interface -- maybe just because I'm used to it. Still, the flexibility of being able to type something into the command line ad hoc rather than writing it into a syntax file when I just want to see what a command is going to do with out "committing" is nice. The general structure of how Stata presents data and elements of the data within the GUI, specifically the ability to see basically everything in one main window, tends to make my life a lot easier.
Inconvénients :
It's kind of ugly. The output especially is pretty bad, even using Stata markup log files. I find that colleagues who do not use Stata are a bit off-put by output I send them in plain-text log files, compared to fancier tables/web reports easily generated in SPSS. Even though my workplace is currently paying for it, I am still not a fan of Stata's pricing structure.

Thanks for the feedback!
A Reliable and Effective Statistical Data Analysis and Processing Tool.
Commentaires : With the current grobal trends, we can say that data is the new gold as far as business is concerned. With the tool we are able to manipulate any data to get the desired results. There is no statistical challenge that we are unable to sort with the tool.
Avantages :
Whats best with the tool is that its loaded with a breath of features. The features helps us in handling any statistical analysis and data visualization. Its a stand alone when its data processing. You are able to clean the data and process it without the need of a third party application.
Inconvénients :
For you to work with the tool, you will need a training on statistics and data handling. Other than that the tool is reliable and efficient.
Unintuitive, clunky with subpar error trouble shooting features
Commentaires : Disappointing, hard to build inertia on a project when troubleshooting errors is a tedious process. I've switched over, Stata is not competitive for business use.
Avantages :
Nothing really, Python and R are just light-years ahead. There is no real reason for me to use it anymore.
Inconvénients :
Improve error troubleshooting, python points you to where the problem lies, Stata makes you search blindly for answers (e.g. Missing values in b and/or V; check your specification (perfect colinearity)) Ok check where?
