The unit STATIS offers some of the most fundamental procedures of mathematical statistics. Along with the Gamma and the Beta function, all major types of distributions are implemented (normal, t, F, and chi-square distribution). A major benefit of this package is that the distribution functions are calculated analytically and not by approximations, or by table lookup. Thus the precision is at least eight digits. More details can be found in the online help pages.

The unit STATIS is part of the SDL Component Suite.
