果断stata

同意楼上，根本不是问题

不想推荐说你应该学什么，不同人不同偏好，不同人用的侧重不同。

一、下面链接里面有ucla网站上面下载的两个技术报告。
你可以看看人家的技术报告，在根据自己的需要决定。

10、ucla对stata、R、sas和spss三个软件的技术报告(一定要看看这个，对认识软件有帮助，就知道那些软件好用)

  R_relative_statpack.pdf (95.35 KB, 下载次数: 499)


二、你也看看在ucla看看这些教材上用各个软件做的例子，自己比较优劣。

Here is my two cents.

In fact it really depends on which area you are in. If you are doing research on Communication/Media Studies, Sociology, Psychology, Linguistics, Organizational Behaviour, among others, most people use SPSS more than Stata， But many people in the areas of Economics, Finance, or Accounting prefer Stata over SPSS. SPSS are more likely to be chosen by people who have less statistics or econometrics background and demand less programming.

Both are desgined for empirical studies. Nobody in the pure theoretical studies needs statistical packages because no empirical data are available or necessary. Those theoretical guys may need Matlab to make simulations, computations, or/and diagrams.

各有所长，计量选stata
