S-PLUS is a system for data analysis from the Data Analysis and Products Division of MathSoft, an enhanced version of the S environment for data analysis developed at Bell Laboratories (of AT&T and now Lucent Technologies). S-PLUS has become the statistician's calculator for the 1990s, allowing easy access to the computing power and graphical capabilities of modem workstations and personal computers.
The first edition of this book appeared in 1994 and a second in 1997. The S statistical system has continued to grow rapidly, and users have contributed an ever-growing wealth of software to implement the latest statistical methods in S.
This book concentrates on using the current systems to do statistics; there is a companion volume which discusses programming in the S language in much greater depth.
