New Statistical Inference Package Adds Major Functionality
to Mathematica for Complex Statistical Analysis
February 8, 2006--Statistical Inference
Package, a robust new application package for building and
analyzing complex statistical models in Mathematica, is now available
for download from Wolfram Research. The easy-to-use add-on
leverages Mathematica's industry-leading capabilities for
numerics and symbolics, graphics, and programming to provide a
seamless environment for doing classical-likelihood-based statistical
inference.
Researchers and professionals in all areas--including clinical
studies, information theory, geostatistics, bioinformatics, genetics,
and economics--use statistical inference to make reliable scientific
predictions from their data. With over 30 statistical distributions
and a large collection of functions for defining new
models, Statistical Inference Package streamlines the process
so users can quickly create sophisticated models and gain valuable
insights into the world described by their data.
Key features of Statistical Inference Package include:
- Maximum likelihood estimation
- Profile-likelihood-based confidence intervals for real-valued
linear or nonlinear smooth parametric functions
- Likelihood ratio tests for general parametric hypotheses
- Automatic handling of censored data
- Random observation from any built-in statistical distribution
- Built-in models and stochastic processes, such as logistic and Poisson
regression, mixed and mixture models, Markov processes, Markov chains,
and hidden Markov models
Complete with electronic documentation and detailed
examples, Statistical Inference Package is also designed for
students and educators to help explore statistical methods in the
classroom. Its integration with Mathematica gives users of any
level immediate access to a wide range of models, making advanced
statistical topics easier to understand.
Through March 31, 2006, all customers can take advantage of a special
25% discount on the price of Statistical Inference Package.
Developed and supported by Dr. Esa Uusipaikka, Statistical
Inference Package requires Mathematica 5.0 or higher for
Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux platforms.

Package website.
