Mathematical Statistics with Mathematica
This book and software package presents a unified approach for doing mathematical statistics with Mathematica. The mathStatica software empowers the student with the ability to solve difficult problems. The professional statistician will be able to tackle tricky multivariate distributions, generating functions, inversion theorems, symbolic maximum likelihood estimation, unbiased estimation, and the checking and correcting of textbook formulae. This is the ideal companion for researchers and students in statistics, econometrics, engineering, physics, psychometrics, economics, finance, biometrics, and the social sciences. The mathStatica CD-ROM The Applications Pack for mathematical statistics, custom Mathematica palettes, live interactive book that is identical to the printed text, online help, trail version of Mathematica 4.0. Colin Rose is Director of the Theoretical Research Institute (Sydney). He has published in leading journals on computer algebra systems and their applications to statistics, economics, and finance. Murry Smith is a senior lecturer in the Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics at the University of Sydney. In 1998-99, he was awarded an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship to visit the University of Munich. He publishes in the fields of statistics, econometric theory, and computer algebra systems.

Comprehensive treatment of math stats using Mathematica and the powerful mathStatica software. Can solves research level problems or much simpler problems with the same ease of use. The whole book is also a live interactive Mathematica notebook, so one doesn't have to re-type code, and the many examples help in setting up ones own work. Particularly strong on distirbutional theory, transformations, moments, random variables, MLE, and some advanced tools I have never seen in any other package. Elegant live HELP system. Best Mathematica integrated app/book I have seen yet. The electronic version is up to date for the current version of Mathematica (v12).
