Abstract

The use of APL by professional statisticians is certainly one of the growth areas of APL users in Britain. The increasingly available second generation APL interpreters offer extra facilities that make it an even more attractive language for the jobbing statistician. In this paper, we present ways of using nested arrays and defined operators that are particularly suited to many commonly occurring problems in Statistics.
