Multiple datasets in memory in Stata 16
You can now load multiple datasets into memory. You type
. use people
and people.dta is loaded into memory. Next, you type
. frame create counties
. frame counties: use counties
and you have two datasets in memory. people.dta is in the frame named default, and counties.dta is in the frame named counties. Your current frame is still default. Most Stata commands use the data in the current frame. For example, if you typed
. list
then people.dta will be listed. If you typed
. frame counties: list
then counties.dta will be listed. Or you could make counties the current frame by typing
. frame change counties
and list will now list the counties data.
Navigating frames is easy and so is linking them. Imagine that both datasets have a variable named countycode that identifies counties in the same way. Type
. frlink m:1 countycode, frame(counties)
and each person in the default frame is linked to a county in the counties frame. This means you can now use the frget command to copy variables from the counties frame to the current frame. Or you can use the frval() function to directly access the values of variables in the counties frame. For instance, if we have each individual’s income in the default frame and median county income in the counties frame, we can generate a new variable containing relative income by typing
. generate rel_income = income / frval(counties, median_income)
This is just the beginning. While this example uses only two frames, you can have up to 100 frames in memory at once, and you can have many links among those frames.

真正的文档
当Stata执行您的分析或理解使用的方法时，Stata不会让您孤立无援或订购
很多书籍来了解每个细节。
我们每一个数据管理功能都有完整的解释，并记录在案，并在实践中显示
实际的例子。每一个估计都有完全记录，包含几个真实数据的例子，真正讨论
如何解释结果。这些例子都给了数据，您可以直接在Stata中使用，甚至扩展
您的分析。我们给您快速启动每一个功能，展示一些较常用用途。想要了解更
多细节，我们的方法和公式部分提供了计算的细节，我们参考部分会给出更多
信息。
Stata
Stata的编程功能让开发者和用户
每天都可以添加各种新功能以便满足
现代研究者日益增加的功能需求。
Mata是一个成熟的编程语言，可
编译您所输入的任何字节，并进行优
化和准确执行。
尽管您不需要使用Stata进行编程，
但是它作为一个快速完成矩阵的编程
语言，是Stata功能中不可或缺的一部
分。Mata既是一个操作矩阵的互动环
境，也是一个完整开发环境，可以生
产编译和优化代码。它还包含了一些
特殊功能来处理面板数据、执行真实
或复制的矩阵运算，提供完整的支持
面向对象的编程，并完全兼容Stata。
