Purpose:
========

ESBPDF Analysis provides everything needed for using Discrete &
Continuous Probability Distributions in a single application. Most 
Tables and supplied functions (such as in MS Excel) give P(X <= A)
and using algebra other results can be found whereas ESBPDF Analysis
handles all the Probability combinations for you.
 
Features include Binomial, Poisson, Normal, Exponential, Student t,
Chi Squared, F & LogNormal Distributions; Inverses of Normal, Student t, 
Chi Squared, F & LogNormal Distributions; Lists of Binomial Coefficients, 
Factorials and Permutations; Calculations of Gamma & Beta Functions. 
Printing of Standard Normal table, Crictical t Values; Fully Customisable;
Integrated Help System which includes a Tutorial. 

We also plan on adding many more Distributions and features.

Ideal for the Maths/Stats Student who wishes to understand Probability 
Distributions better, as well as the Maths Buff who wants a well designed 
calculating tool.

ESBStats™, our Statistical Analysis & Inference package is also available.
