The APL Alternative

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Statistics ((LNS,volume 14))

Summary

APL is an interactive computing language. In this paper we discuss its suitability for statistical analysis and experimentation, and in particular for maximum likelihood estimation using iteratively reweighted least squares.
