Approximate goodness-of-fit and confidence intervals for parameters are calculated using bootstrap methods. We discuss further how the S distribution can be used to solve various problems of statistical modeling associated with parameter inference, including goodness-of-fit tests, Monte Carlo simulations and modeling trends in the distributions.22 pages, 1 Postscript figure, uses rotating.sty, harvard.sty Submitted to Journal of Statistical Computation and SimulationData Analysis, Statistics and ProbabilityStatistical inference and modeling with the S distributiontext
