Within the end of this year, I will be starting an epidemiological PhD disseration. I have used SPSS for years. Most of my colleagues and my students who I have to help use SPSS also. However, in my last two epi classes they have been using stata. It looks more straightforward.
My question is what are the advantages and disadvantages. I know that it mostly depends on peference. But, I was thinking about giving stata a try. It looks a bit easier (they are both easier than SAS from what I hear). Thanks!
