DER <function of variable x>,<variable x>
forms the analytical derivative of the function with respect to
<variable x> and writes the result on the next two lines in the edit
field. For example,
10 *
11 *DER log(log(1+sqr(Z))) Z
12 * Derivative of log(log(1+sqr(Z))) with respect to Z is
13 * 1/(2*SQR(Z))/(1+sqr(Z))/log(1+sqr(Z))
14 *
15 *DER SIN(G(t)/t) t
16 * Derivative of SIN(G(t)/t) with respect to t is
17 * COS(G(t)/t)*(t*G'(t)-G(t))/t^2
18 *
Survo employs itself analytical derivatives in the ESTIMATE operation
for linear and nonlinear regression models and for general Maximum
likelihood estimation problems.
