Stata has a general syntax which is the same across a wide set of different commands. This makes the implementation and alternation of applied work very easy. Comparing user written programs in Stata to those in R, Matlab or Python, my experience (and I might be wrong!) is that Stata programs allow for much more flexible settings.
1) Stata/IC has been renamed to Stata/BE, for "Basic Edition". "IC" was a leftover from "Intercooled Stata". 2) Stata/SE is still Stata/SE, but the SE now stands for "Standard Edition" rather than "Special Edition". "Special Edition" made sense when it was our latest and greatest, but Stata/MP has been out for quite a while now.
Incidentally, Stata is one of the easiest programs I have found for moving from one machine to another. I just copy the program files (e.g. folder Stata16) from one computer to the corresponding location in the other. I also copy c:\ado (names may differ on your machine). I currently have every version from Stata 7 on installed on my machine.

the online help for Stata; Stata's search command, which can tell you about all built-in Stata commands, all ado-files published in the Stata Journal, all FAQs on the Stata website, www.stata.com, and community-contributed Stata programs available on the Internet (if you have Stata 12 or earlier, you can use findit to search all these sources at once)
This will be a standard Stata matrix that you can access using the Stata's matrix (not Mata!) commands documented in the output of help matrix and all the help files linked from that output. For example,
first import the *.dat file (which is likely to be data saved as a "text" file) into other software you are familiar with, perhaps Excel or SPSS. Then you may be better able to save it as another file format such as tab-delimited, .CSV (comma separated file) or even the Stata (".dta") or SAS or SPSS export format. Good luck.
On the networked computer: 1. use the command WHICH PACKAGE_NAME to get the path that Stata has set up for the package. 2. rename the downloaded package (from SSC COPY) to have the same extension as shown in the path from the WHICH PACKAGE_NAME command (in this case ".ado") On the unnetworked computer:
Fabian Rohrbach. Join Date: Oct 2016. Posts: 6. #1. Transformation of variable to log in panel data. 29 Oct 2016, 17:49. I want to transform a variable in my panel data set to a log variable. The common thing to do is gen logvar = log (var). However, I am working with panel data and am not sure if this is the right command.
