What is Splus? Where does it come from?

Splus is a Statistical Analysis package for data analysis and plotting that incorporates an embedded programming language, S. Splus is a product of TIBCO, Inc.

Splus on Athena

Splus maintenance has been discontinued

Splus 8.2.0 is the current default (i.e., this is the version obtained by typing: add splus; splus).

General usage information can be found in the What Runs Where listing and in the splus locker (type: attach splus; more /mit/splus/README.athena). MIT users may access the SPlus 8.2 User's Guide, and other documentation online. See also 8.2 release notes. Splus online help is available with the command:

     > help.start()    (for Java help system)

Splus at MIT

Splus in the Athena Computing Environment is currently unsupported. By "unsupported" we mean:

• IS&T tries to provide current versions of Splus on all Athena platforms.
• The Athena Consultants may be able to help Athena users with some basic Splus questions in OLC, but they will not all be familiar with it.
