Course Overview

Mata is Statas matrix programming language that can be used interactively or as an extension for do-files and ado-files.

This course aims at introducing the main features of Mata programming and demonstrating how to make use of Stata and Mata capabilities together.

The course will be delivered using Stata 12.

When is it advantageous to use Mata for programming Writing loops
Local & global variables in Mata
Saving compiled Mata code and creating function libraries
Matrix definition, expressions and operators
A-to-Z example: simple program to estimate an OLS regression
