STATA is a girl’s best friend

(adapted from Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, Marilyn Monroe)

I

There are those who would die for love

They delight in finding soulmates

But I like a program that lives

And gives me codes to generate

II

A hug or a date

May be quite the joyous thrill

But STATA is a girl’s best friend

III

True love may be great

But it won’t pay all the bills

For STATA 15

Or help you to find the grouped mean

IV

Men get bored

Girls less adored

And we all lose our edge in the end

V

But normal or right-skewed

Histograms don’t lose shape

STATA is a girl’s best friend

VI

ANOVA!

Bootstrap!

Lincom, Splines, Regress!
