Insightful Corporation (NASDAQ:IFUL), a leading provider of
predictive analytics and reporting solutions, announced today the
immediate availability of S-PLUS� 8 Enterprise Developer, the
latest major release of Insightful�s software platform for
statistical data analysis and predictive analytics. S-PLUS 8
Enterprise Developer provides statisticians and developers with
enhanced programming efficiencies, versatility, comprehensive
graphics production and advanced statistical methods, all of which
increase programmers� ability to anticipate and plan for change.
With S-PLUS 8 Enterprise Developer, IT organizations can speed
their deployment of advanced, integration-friendly analytical
solutions. S-PLUS 8 Enterprise Developer also provides users with
the visualization and reporting tools necessary to communicate
results to technical and non-technical audiences, delivering the
knowledge to act on critical decision points. �S-PLUS provides me
with the tools necessary to work faster and more flexibly with
clinical data,� said Harry Southworth, statistical science director
for AstraZeneca, one of the world�s leading pharmaceutical
companies. �The superior quality of the graphs has made it easier
for me to communicate across a broad audience including
statisticians, drug safety personnel and physicians.� KEY FEATURES
IN S-PLUS 8.0 Workbench: This feature, originally introduced in
S-PLUS 7, has been further enhanced in the 8 release. Programmers
can speed the development of applications for competitive advantage
by using the new debugger and profiler. The interactive debugger
allows users to quickly debug S-PLUS code from within the S-PLUS
workbench. The workbench has modern debugging tools including step
debugging and breakpoints. The profiler provides an environment for
writing and developing functions in S-PLUS that allow profiling of
time and memory allocation within S-PLUS tasks. The user can now
optimize the code�s execution by evaluating where bottlenecks
exist. Graphics enhancements: S-PLUS is already a leading platform
for graphics creation and delivery. In version 8, Insightful has
included a larger and normalized color palette as well as providing
simplified code to deliver complex graphs and charts. Whether a
developer is creating graphics for submission to the FDA or
distribution to a group of portfolio managers at an investment
bank, S-PLUS 8 Enterprise Developer makes this task easier and more
time efficient. S-PLUS Package System: With already 25 published
packages available, S-PLUS 8 Enterprise Developer provides a
convenient framework for creating and distributing libraries for
S-PLUS and for converting packages written in R (S-PLUS�s
open-source cousin) for use in S-PLUS. S language extensions: Over
one hundred new functions have been added in order to support the
graphics enhancements, the S-PLUS Package System and to augment
compatibility with R. Types of functions that have been added
include math, character, file manipulation and string manipulation.
S-PLUS 8 ENTERPRISE DEVELOPER: COMPREHENSIVE RESPONSE TO USERS�
NEEDS S-PLUS 8 Enterprise Developer was put through a lengthy beta
testing period to provide for the most comprehensive response to
testers� comments as well as thorough testing of new features and
functions. Customers have responded enthusiastically to the new
release. Knut Wittkowski, director,
Biostatistics/Epidemiology/Research Design Center for Clinical and
Translational Science at Rockefeller University Hospital, said,
�S-PLUS 8 excels in the documentation of the algorithms being used
and the addition of the Eclipse Workbench facilitates the
implementation of novel results from statistical research.� �The
S-PLUS Package System in version 8 provides tools to develop S-PLUS
packages easily and in a routinely automated way that should
facilitate ready cross-talk with the R system and user,� said Brad
Biggerstaff, mathematical statistician for the Division of
Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases National Center for Infectious
Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. �I was able
to build a package from existing code in a very reasonable time,
and the documentation of this task was understandable and
complete.� AVAILABILITY/PLATFORMS S-PLUS 8 is available today for
Microsoft Windows�, Red Hat� Enterprise Linux� and Sun Solaris�
operating systems. �We are very pleased to announce the release of
