Abstract

Imagine computer software that can find expectations of arbitrary random variables, calculate variances, invert characteristic functions, solve transformations of random variables, calculate probabilities, derive order statistics, find Fisher's Information and Cramér-Rao Lower Bounds, derive symbolic (exact) maximum likelihood estimators,
perform automated moment conversions, and so on. Imagine that this software was wonderfully easy to use, and yet so powerful that it can find corrections to mainstream reference texts and solve new problems in seconds. Then, imagine a book that uses that software to bring mathematical statistics to life...
