ABSTRACT
Mathematica contains numerous functions for probability, statistics and visualization. Its most versions include commands for modeling nonparametric and derived statistical distributions, performing survival analysis, finding clusters and fitting data to linear, generalized linear and nonlinear models among other features. Mathematica probably contains more statistics functions than most of the specialized programs in the field. The chapter shows an example of how to build a package for quality control. Mathematica's functionality for data analysis is quite extensive. A fundamental aspect of statistics is the graphical representation of data. The chapter presents several types of graphs for displaying multivariate data. Some statistical studies may contain simulated instead of empirical data. In those cases, random number generators are used. Mathematica has the functions Random Real and Random Integer to generate random numbers.
