The ranges shown here are the subsets of the overall ranges over which no rounding of integer values occurs.Ĥ.1 (Automatic promotion.) For the integer storage types-for byte, int, and long-numbers outside the ranges listed in (3.3) would be stored as missing (.) except that storage types are promoted automatically. The overall ranges of float and double were shown in (2.4) and are wider than the ranges for them shown here. In addition, all storage types can record missing values They are 1 byte, 2 bytes, and 4 bytes, respectively.ģ.2 Integers may also be stored in Stata’s IEEE 754-2008 floating-point storage formats float and double.ģ.3 Integer values may be stored precisely over the ranges storageĭouble -9,007,199,254,740,992 9,007,199,254,740,992 This is less precise because the intervals shown in the tables are closed intervals.ģ.1 Stata provides three integer storage formats: byte, int, and long. Said differently, and less precisely, float values are in the open interval (-2 128, 2 127), and double values are in the open interval (-2 1024, 2 1023). For those familiar with %21x floating-point hexadecimal format, the exact values are Storageįloat -1.fffffe0000000X+07f +1.fffffe0000000X+07eĭouble -1.fffffffffffffX+3ff +1.fffffffffffffX+3fe In addition, float and double can record missing values

How to interpret %21x format (if you care)ġ.1 Stata provides five numeric types for storing variables, three of them integer types and two of them floating point.ġ.2 The floating-point types are float and double.ġ.3 The integer types are byte, int, and long.ġ.4 Stata uses these five types for the storage of data.ġ.5 Stata makes all calculations in double precision (and sometimes quad precision) regardless of the type used to store the data.Ģ.1 Stata provides two IEEE 754-2008 floating-point types: float and double.Ģ.2 float variables are stored in 4 bytes.Ģ.3 double variables are stored in 8 bytes.Ģ.4 The ranges of float and double variables are Storageįloat -3.40282346639e+ 38 1.70141173319e+ 38ĭouble -1.79769313486e+308 8.98846567431e+307 Advice concerning exact data, such as currency dataĩ. I don’t want to raise expectations too much, however, so I will entitle it …ħ.

What follows is intended to provide everything scientific researchers need to know to judge the effect of storage precision on their work, to know what can go wrong, and to prevent that.

If I succeed, I will place this in the Stata manuals and get it indexed online in Stata so that users can find it the instant they have questions.

I am hopeful that from now on, every question that appears on Statalist that even remotely touches on the subject will be answered with a link back to this page. This time I’ll try to write the ultimate piece on the subject, making it as short and snappy as possible, and addressing every popular question of which I am aware-including some I haven’t addressed before-and doing all that without making you wade with me into all the messy details, which I know I have a tendency to do. I take that as evidence that I have yet to produce a useful, readable piece that addresses all the questions researchers have.
