There is a glitch with Stata's 'stem' command for stem-and-leaf plots. The 'stem' function seems to permanently reorder the data so that they are sorted according to the variable that the stem-and-leaf plot was plotted for. The best way to avoid this problem is to avoid doing any stem-and-leaf plots (do histograms instead).

Tufts provides an enterprise license for Stata/SE (Standard Edition), which is suitable for the analysis of larger datasets. Stata/SE supports analyses with up to 10,998 independent variables and datasets with up to 32,767 variables and 2.14 billion observations. Stata has a user-friendly graphical interface that easily allows for the following functionality:

Summary statistics
Data cleaning and management
Advanced techniques, such as survival models with frailty, dynamic panel data (DPD) regressions, generalized estimating equations (GEE), multilevel mixed models, models with sample selection, multiple imputations, ARCH, and estimation with complex survey samples
New approaches, such as machine learning models, Python integration, and Bayesian analysis
Publication-quality visualizations with easy export to various formats like PDF, EPS, and PNG
Generate reports that incorporate results and graphs with formatted text and tables in Microsoft Word, Excel, PDF, and HTML formats

Students, Faculty, and Staff can obtain the software via self-service or by request.
