Format Details
DTA
DTA is the native binary data file format for Stata, a statistical analysis package widely used in economics, epidemiology, and social science research. It stores complete datasets along with variable labels, value labels, missing value indicators, and display formats that preserve the full analytical context. DTA files can contain millions of observations and thousands of variables, making them suitable for large survey and panel datasets.
TSV
TSV (Tab-Separated Values) is a plain-text tabular data format that uses tab characters as column delimiters and newlines to separate rows, making it similar to CSV but avoiding issues when data values contain commas. It is well-supported by spreadsheet applications, relational databases, and scripting languages, and is commonly used for data exports from bioinformatics databases, genome browsers, and text-processing pipelines.
