The Wolfram Solution for

Statistics

Pull in your data or ours, do standardized or custom analysis and visualization, then generate and deploy interactive reports—all in one system, with one integrated workflow.

The Wolfram statistics solution includes powerful optimization and statistics functionality alongside unique capabilities like free-form linguistic input, instant interactivity, and the reliability of any-precision numerics and symbolic analysis.

Key Capabilities

Mathematica includes thousands of built-in functions and curated data on many topics that let you:

  • Model and predict a wide range of failure rates, such as the life expectancy of a product or the reliability of engineering materials using built-in Weibull distribution functions
  • Determine insights by analyzing current and historical built-in financial, socioeconomic, geographic, and demographic data
  • Study public health statistics, voting patterns, consumer spending data, and more for predictive modeling
  • Perform Monte Carlo simulations, bootstrap analysis, estimate probabilities, and more for pricing options and other finance applications
  • Analyze FRAP (fluorescence recovery after photobleaching) experiments to quantify the mobility of molecules in live cells or develop models to investigate SIR epidemic dynamics
  • Solve day-to-day optimization problems in many diverse fields such as production, supply chain management, engineering design, finance, and more using built-in or user-defined routines
  • Generate user-defined or built-in 2D and 3D graphics for visualizing data
  • Create interactive applications, reports, and presentations for instant deployment through the Wolfram CDF Player or webMathematica

Does your current tool set have these advantages?

  • More statistical distributions than any other system, with specialized coverage for finance, medicine, engineering, and science
  • Instantly create dynamic interfaces that allow you to vary parameters and gain useful insights from datasets
    Unique to Mathematica
  • Automated precision control and arbitrary precision numerics produce highly accurate results
    Excel, MATLAB, and other systems that rely on finite precision numerics can cause serious errors due to lack of precision
  • Built-in functionality for statistical analysis and computation, curve fitting, image processing, and a range of other application areas
    MATLAB requires the purchase of extra tool boxes
  • Seamless integration of numerics, symbolics, interactive graphics, and all other computational aspects in one document
    Unique to Mathematica
  • Powerful symbolic statistical computation and built-in functions for all standard statistical distributions
    MATLAB, R, STATA, and other numerical systems do not have integrated symbolic functionality
  • Integrated access to financial, socioeconomic, geographic, scientific, and other data suitable for computation without preprocessing
    Built-in curated data is not available in other software
  • Complete statistical analysis workflow, from data import to analysis to typeset report or slide show, in a single document
    R, SAS, S-PLUS, Minitab, and other software do not support a complete analysis workflow in a single document
