Data processing computing techniques are currently developing very rapidly to make it easier for analysts to present data quickly and accurately. Many computer software tools in use today have specific functions for the research purposes they are used for. Of course, there are very different tools between qualitative and quantitative research. One of the computer software for computational techniques for processing quantitative data that is very powerful and reliable is Stata.
Stata is a statistical software that has very complete capabilities for processing panel and time series data in quantitative research. Stata can also be used for data with a large number of observations and many variables. So Stata is often used to process large data such as population census data, Susenas and National Sakrnas. Large quantitative studies in Indonesia such as the Survey of Aspects of Indonesian Household Life (SAKERTI) also use STATA. Large institutions also often use this software in processing their data, such as BPS, TNP2K, World Bank and others.
