SSCC网上download的Mata学习资料，免费下载
Mata is a matrix language built into Stata, similar in many ways to R, Matlab or GAUSS. It does have some unique and intriguing features however. One is that it is a compiled language rather than interpreted, which improves performance. It also has been parallelized in Stata/MP (available on all the SSCC Linux servers and Condor) which dramatically improves performance. On the other hand Mata is fairly new and has not yet "caught on" at the SSCC, so we don't have any real-world comparisons to offer.
