The Statistics Option offers you a variety of statistical tests and the possibility of calculating theoretical distributions. Unlike descriptive statistics, which permits a description of the data material via statistical quantities, the testing and estimating procedures of inductive statistics offer the possibility, based on samples, of focusing on the population from which the samples originate.
Inductive statistics are increasingly gaining importance, particularly in the fields of statistical process control (SPC).
