Statistics

The beauty of Weisstein’s World of Mathematics is the action graphics used to illustrate mathematical and statistical concepts. See for instance the changes in the graph for a finite state discrete time markov chain as the clock ticks.

CRCnetBase provides access to around 60 CRC handbooks in statistics. One obtains a list of these by clicking on the “statistics” tab.

Full-text of over 400 e-books. Although most of the books deal with applied mathematics, books on applied probability and statistics are also listed. The web site can be confusing. When you click on a title and chapter, you get only an excerpt for that chapter. To get the full e-text it is necessary to click on the PDF symbol.

Besides giving functions, Wolfram uses “Mathematica” to plot the functions. One can find plots for beta, gamma, and other functions.

Using the index is the best way to find a statistical function.
