Abstract:
|
Both the R and S-PLUS implementations of the S language now have a package system for extending the system. An S package can include S language code, C/Fortran code, data and documentation for the package. While package system is used primarily to add new computational techniques to the language, it can be used to share data, analysis methods and documentation in project collaborations. Packages can also be used to distribute example data sets as well as analysis scripts for classes and textbooks. This poster will give an overview of the key features of the package system and show examples of the various uses of packages.
