Mata Matters: Stata in Mata

William Gould

Stata Journal, 2010, vol. 10, issue 1, 125-142

Abstract: Mata is Stata’s matrix language. In the Mata Matters column, we show how Mata can be used interactively to solve problems and as a programming language to add new features to Stata. The subject of this column is using Mata to solve data analysis problems with the new Stata commands putmata and getmata, which were added to official Stata 11 in the update of 11 February 2010.
