Probability and statistics are used to model uncertainty from a variety of sources, such as incomplete or simplified models. Yet you can build useful models for aggregate or overall behavior of the system in question. Such a model is that of a probability distribution.
Mathematica uses symbolic distributions. In
Mathematica, you can directly compute several dozen properties from symbolic distributions, including finding the probability of an arbitrary event or simulating it to generate data.
Mathematica has the largest collection of parametric distributions ever assembled, and parametric distributions can be automatically estimated from data.
Mathematica provides nonparametric distributions directly computed from data, automating and generalizing the many nonparametric methods in use for specific properties. Distributions can be derived from other distributions or given by formulas for distribution functions, giving infinite extensibility to the whole framework.
