Statistical Modelling in S-Plus

A library of functions for S-Plus


This page links to source code and documentation for a variety of S-Plus functions for statistical modelling. You can download source code for each function from its help page (see the link 'download script' in the top-right of each page). All functions have been tested in S-Plus 2000 for Windows.

I (Gordon Smyth) am the author of all code below unless otherwise specified. All the code below is open source under LGPL license.

Note that I now use R rather than S-Plus for statistical programming. While I will respond to bug reports for the functions below, I have no plans to develop these functions further or to port them to later versions of S-Plus. See my R libraries for my current work.

Data Analysis and Programming

influence
Leverage, residuals and influence for a linear model, generalized linear model or generalized additive model.
neldmead
Function minimization by the Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm. Implementation by Bill Clark and David Clifford.
