Probability & Statistics
Probability and statistics are used to model uncertainty from a variety of sources, such as incomplete or simplified models. Yet you can build useful models for aggregate or overall behavior of the system in question. These types of models are now universally used across all areas of science, technology, and business. The Wolfram Language uses symbolic distributions and processes as models for random variables and random processes. The models can be automatically computed from data or analytically constructed from a rich library of built-in distributions and processes. The models can be simulated or used to directly answer a variety of questions.
