The Power of S™

At the core of S-PLUS is the "S" language developed at Lucent Technologies (formerly AT&T Bell Labs). The only language created specifically for data visualization and exploration, statistical modeling and programming with data, S provides a rich, object-oriented environment designed for interactive data discovery and statistical data mining.

Insightful has molded the S technology into the most powerful data analysis product available today. Insightful’s statisticians and developers have used the S language to create the most comprehensive library of statistical functions. You can easily access many of these functions through menus, dialogs and toolbars. Plus, the underlying structure of S-PLUS makes it simple for you to fit alternative models using both classical and modern methods, so you get the best fit for the data.

Furthermore, you can quickly prototype new models and create new functions to suit your analysis needs. The underlying programming language allows you to do your analysis the way you want, without being constrained by predefined functions and a "black box" environment.
