S-PLUS is a powerful environment for the statistical and graphical analysis of data. It provides the tools to implement many statistical ideas which have been made possible by the widespread availability of workstations having good graphics and computational capabilities. This is a guide to using S-PLUS to perform statistical analyses. It provides both an introduction to the use of S-PLUS and a course in modern statistical methods. Throughout, the emphasis is on presenting practical problems and full analyses of real data sets. Many of the methods discussed are approaches to topics such as linear and non-linear regression models, robust and smooth regression methods, survival analysis, multivariate analysis, tree-based methods, time series, spatial statistics, and classification.

Dr. VEANBLES is Head of Department and Senior Lecturer at the Department of Statistics, University of Adelaide, and has given many short courses on S-PLUS in Australia, Europe and the USA. Professor RIPLEY holds the Chair of Applied Statistics at the University of Oxford, and is the author of four other books on spatial statistics, simulation, pattern recognition and neural networks.
