Description: A Probability Progamming Language (APPL) -- Python Edition
        
        ABOUT:
        
        ApplPy is a computational probability package written in Python. The project
        runs using the open source SymPy computer algebra system (CAS). Because all of
        the dependencies that ApplPy requires to run are open source, ApplPy is available
        free of charge. While still incomplete, ApplPy will eventually be capable of
        performing a wide range of random variable algebra operations on univariate
        probaility distributions. The package supports both continuous and discrete 
        distributions, as well as piece-wise distributions. The current capabilities of
        ApplPy include:
        
        1. Conversion between PDF,CDF,SF,HF,CHF and IDF representations of random variables
        2. Computation of expected values, with both numeric and symbolic output
        3. Plotting distributions, including piece-wise distributions
        4. One-to-one and many-to-one transformations of piecewise distributions
        5. Convolutions of lifetime distributions
        6. Random sampling from distributions
        7. Bootstrapping data sets
        
        ApplPy is derived from A Probability Programming Language (APPL), which runs
        in Maple. The idea behind ApplPy is to make the capabilites of APPL available
        on a free of charge, open source platform. This has the potential to make APPL
        much more effective, both as an educational resource and a research tool.
        
        INSTALLATION:
        
        ApplPy requires the following dependencies in order to run properly:
        
        1. SymPy
        2. Matplotlib
        
        The latests stable release of both of these packages can be downloading
        from the python package index at https://pypi.python.org/pypi
        
        The latest working edition of APPLPy is available on GitHub and the latest
        stable release is available from the python package index. To install the
        software, open the directory where APPLPy has been downloaded and type
        the following command
        
        $ python setup.py install
        
        If you have any comments or suggestions for ApplPy, feel free to contact the author
