Stata 18 expands its econometric and meta-analysis capabilities to address increasingly complex research designs: New in Stata 18: Meta-analysis for prevalence Stata 18

Stata 18, released by StataCorp in April 2023, represents a significant evolution in the company’s long-standing statistical software suite. Building upon the foundation of Stata 17, this version introduces a blend of cutting-edge statistical methods, enhanced data visualization capabilities, improved workflow tools, and deeper integration with modern computing environments. It is designed to serve a broad user base, from undergraduate students learning introductory statistics to Ph.D. economists, biostatisticians, epidemiologists, and political scientists conducting complex, reproducible research.

In previous versions, survival analysis (time-to-event data) required exact failure times or right-censoring. However, in many medical and biological studies, the exact time of an event is unknown; researchers only know it occurred between two examination points (e.g., a tumor was absent at Visit 1 but present at Visit 2).

Panel VAR models are essential for understanding the dynamic relationship between variables across individuals over time. Stata 18 simplifies the estimation of these models, including robust standard errors for panel VAR, facilitating better understanding of dynamic feedback loops. Interval-Censored Cox Model
