It forms the basis of two highly acclaimed and widely used data\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eanalysis software systems, the commercial S-PLUS® and the Open\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSource R. This book provides an in-depth guide to writing software in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ethe S language under either or both of those systems. It is intended\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003efor readers who have some acquaintance with the S language and want to\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eknow how to use it more effectively, for example to build re-usable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003etools for streamlining routine data analysis or to implement new\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003estatistical methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the outstanding strengths of the S language is the ease with\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ewhich it can be extended by users. S is a functional language, and\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003efunctions written by users are first-class objects treated in the same\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eway as functions provided by the system. S code is eminently readable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eand so a good way to document precisely what algorithms were used, and\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eas much of the implementations are themselves written in S, they can be\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003estudied as models and to understand their subtleties. The current\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eimplementations also provide easy ways for S functions to call\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecompiled code written in C, Fortran and similar languages; this is\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003edocumented here in depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncreasingly S is being used for statistical or graphical analysis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ewithin larger software systems or for whole vertical-market\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eapplications. The interface facilities are most developed on\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWindows® and these are covered with worked examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors have written the widely used Modern Applied Statistics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ewith S-PLUS, now in its third edition, and several software libraries\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ethat enhance S-PLUS and R; these and the examples used in both books\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eare available on the Internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. W.N.
