The command ExploreRV takes an arbitrary statistical distribution and displays an interactive interface to explore its various parameters. If ExploreRV is run without an argument, an interactive Maplet is displayed to select possible distributions to explore.

Upon exploring a distribution, a Maplet is displayed to inquire information on the parameters.

Default ranges are given for each parameter based on the constraints that that parameter is subject to. However, a more suitable range can be entered in the Maplet.

When the Maplet is closed, ExploreRV inserts some content into the current worksheet where various statistical properties of the distribution are displayed.

Slider components allow for the values of the parameters to be changed. An updated distribution is constructed using the values specified by the sliders, and its statistical properties are displayed.

Note: This feature only works in the Maple Standard Worksheet interface.

$B≔\mathrm{BetaRandomVariable}\left(1\,2\right)$

$\mathrm{ExploreRV}\left(B\right)$

$B≔\mathrm{BinomialRandomVariable}\left(n\,p\right)$

$\mathrm{ExploreRV}\left(B\right)$

$K≔\mathrm{NormalRandomVariable}\left(0\,1\right)$

$\mathrm{ExploreRV}\left(K^2\right)$

myfunc := proc( x ) return 2*x; end proc;

$\mathrm{ExploreRV}\left(K+a+\mathrm{myfunc}\left(b\right)+\mathrm{NormalRandomVariable}\left(2\,2\right)\right)$

The Student[ Statistics ][ ExploreRV ] command was introduced in Maple 18.
