Riassunto

This explanation of the basics of S-PLUS ais suitable for users with little computing or statistical knowledge. Unlike the S-PLUS manuals, the book does not strive to be comprehensive, but instead introduces the most important ideas of S-PLUS through the use of many examples. Each chapter includes a collection of exercises that are accompanied by fully worked-out solutions and detailed comments, and the whole is rounded off with practical hints on how to work efficiently in S-PLUS. This second edition has been updated to incorporate the completely revised S Language and its implementation in S-PLUS, while new chapters have been added to explain the Windows GUI, how to explore relationships in data using the powerful Trellis graphics system, and how to understand and use object-oriented programming.

Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

This book explains the basics of S-PLUS in a clear style at a level suitable for people with little computing or statistical knowledge. Unlike the manuals, it is not comprehensive, but instead introduces the most important ideas of S-PLUS and R, its companion in implementing the S language.

The authors take the reader on a journey into the world of interactive computing, data exploration, and statistical analysis. They explain how to approach data sets and teach the corresponding S-PLUS commands.

A collection of exercises summarizes the main ideas of each chapter. The exercises are accompanied by solutions that are worked out in full detail, and the code is ready to use and to be modified.

The volume is rounded off with practical hints on how efficient work can be performed in S-PLUS, for example by pointing out how to set up a good working environment and how to integrate S-PLUS with office products.

The book is well suited for self-study and as a textbook. It serves as an introduction to S-PLUS as well as R. A separate chapter points out the major differences between R and S-PLUS.

Over the last editions, the book has been updated to cover important changes like the inclusion of S Language Version 4, Trellis graphics, a graphical user interface, and many useful tips and tricks. The fourth edition is based on S-PLUS Version 7.0 for Windows and UNIX and has been updated and revised accordingly.
