Simulation of distributions using Mathematica 6

By Nasser Abbasi

Last updated 10/10/09

 

This page contains number of Mathematica notebooks to illustrate the use of its Statistics functions. The table below contains the notebooks, the player version of the notebook (which could be played using Mathematica free player) to download the free player to play these notebooks, go to http://www.wolfram.com/solutions/interactivedeployment/publish/

Once you install the player, then you can double click on any of these (.nbp) files below (the files in the links located in the second column of the table below) and run them.

 

There is a simulator for discrete and continuous distributions, and one for bivariate normal distributions. Screen shots are the bottom of this page.

Discrete Distributions simulator (Using Dynamics)

1/3/2008

EXPIERMENTAL.

Same as above, but the UI was designed using Mathematica Dynamics calls instead of Manipulate. Only 2 distributions.

This one is for  continuous Distributions. I am working on a new version but not yet completed.

Allows one to see the PDF and CDF of a bivariate normal distribution.

Function of random variable

December 2007

This is not completed work. Buggy code. User can enter a function (say Y=a X+b) where X is random variable of some distribution, and adjust parameters of X and see Y as a result.
