Have you look at zelig (http://gking.harvard.edu/zelig/) ?  It unifies
a lot of statistical models within a framework that describes variable
types for input and output.

You might also try searching for "statistical expert systems" - e.g.
More Intelligent Statistical Software and Statistical Expert Systems:
Future Directions.  Gerald J. Hahn.  The American Statistician, Vol.
39, No. 1 (Feb., 1985), pp. 1-8.
