Abstract:

SIP is a MATHEMATICA package for statistical inference using concepts and constructs of teaching, writing, and applying. SIP contains procedures for maximum likelihood estimation, likelihood ratio tests of general hypotheses concerning parameters, and profile likelihood based confidence intervals for general interest functions of parameters. SIP contains large collection of discrete and absolutely continuous univariate distributions and also multivariate distributions. SIP contains many sophisticated statistical models. SIP uses a new method for calculation of profile likelihood based confidence intervals for general parameter functions of interest in general parametric statistical models. SIP gives in addition to the statistical analysis procedures easy access to the powerful tools in MATHEMATICA for doing mathematics, graphics, programming, and presentation.
