Introduction to S-PLUS for UNIX

Chairs of Statistics, EPFL

`The S system, which has forever altered how people analyze, visualize, and manipulate data.'
Citation from 1998 ACM/Software System Award for J. M. Chambers

S-PLUS is a powerful environment for statistical and graphical analysis of data. It provides the tools to implement many standard and modern statistical methods made possible by the widespread availability of workstations having good graphics and computational capabilities.
