programming communities. With its latest release, S-PLUS 8.0
Enterprise Developer, Insightful has delivered the S-PLUS package
system, a set of features and functions that allows the delivery of
complete statistical analysis software packages in S-PLUS. The
system also includes tools for porting R packages for use in
S-PLUS. The response from package developers and customers has been
enthusiastic. �We are very excited by the interest and
contributions that we have received so far,� comments Dr. Stephen
Kaluzny, senior engineering manager for Insightful Corporation and
architect for the S-PLUS package system. �Early feedback from beta
customers and from the R community indicates a strong interest in
using the package system for collaboration and the reliable
delivery of rigorous statistical analysis.� Over 25 packages are
currently available on the CSAN site free for download. Authors of
new S-PLUS packages are encouraged to submit their packages to
CSAN. Currently available packages were submitted during the S-PLUS
8.0 beta period. They include work done by Insightful�s own
research group and S-PLUS users and packages converted by R users,
including the following: Richard Heiberger, from Temple University,
contributed a package named "HH" which supports the extensive use
of graphic displays for data exploration as described in his book,
"Statistical Analysis and Data Display." Harry Southworth, from
AstraZeneca Pharmaceutical, contributed a port from R of the
"ismev" package which is designed to support the computations in
the book, "An Introduction to Statistical Modeling of Extreme
Values." Knut Wittkowski, from Rockefeller University, contributed
the "muStat" package which performs nonparametric tests. Martyn
Plummer, from the International Agency for Research on Cancer in
Lyon, France, is a contributing author for a package named "coda"
which provides output analysis and diagnostics for Markov Chain
Monte Carlo simulations. �This is a very encouraging development in
the R/S-PLUS relationship,� states Uwe Ligges, from Dortmund
University. �Insightful�s S-PLUS package system is a great start in
bridging the gap between these statistical programming languages
and we anticipate further cooperation will result in benefits for
all statisticians, open source and commercial.� �We are committed
to furthering the science of statistical programming as a company,�
says Jeff Coombs, president and CEO of Insightful Corporation. �We
want to thank all of the contributing authors to the S-PLUS package
