Good firm
Dembe, Partridge, and Geist (2011, pdf), in a paper not too long ago revealed in
Good firm. Each are, in our humble opinion, glorious packages, though we admit to have a choice for one among them.
We must always point out that the authors report that SAS utilization grew significantly in the course of the research interval, and that Stata utilization held roughly fixed, a conclusion that matches the ends in their Desk 1, an extract of which is
| 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2007-2009 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| whole articles | 393 | 374 | 372 | 1,139 |
| included articles | 282 | 308 | 287 | 877 |
| % Stata used | 48.3 | 42.6 | 47.4 | 46.0 |
| % SAS used | 37.2 | 43.1 | 47.4 | 42.6 |
The authors speculated that the expansion of SAS “could have been stimulated by enhancements […] that gave customers the power to make use of balanced repeated replication (BRR) and jackknife strategies for variance estimation with advanced survey information […]”. Since these options have been already in Stata, that sounds cheap to us.
Allow us to simply say, good firm. Good corporations.
