Subject: S-PLUS 6.2 RELEASED!

Insightful is pleased to announce that S-PLUS 6.2 is now available for Windows. S-PLUS 6.2 adds to the functionality of S-PLUS 6.1 in several ways:

  • New XML support, including creation of custom tabular reports
  • New batch mode, including verbose logging for validated environments
  • Native database support
  • Enhancements to S-PLUS Graphlets
  • Design of experiments library
  • Updates to the MASS (Venables/Ripley) and Hmisc/Design (Harrell) libraries
  • Links to new research libraries from Insightful
  • and much more
The new Research libraries available now include S+CorrelatedData (with GEE and GLMM models), S+BEST (for nonparametric adaptive estimation) and S+Bayes (including hierarchical linear mixed models). These libraries are available on an experimental basis now, before being included in a later version of S-PLUS. You can download them from www.insightful.com/downloads/libraries/ or by using the link in the Help menu of S-PLUS 6.2.

As a maintenance release, S-PLUS 6.2 also provides a number of enhancements focused on the stability and reliability of the S-PLUS interface and engine. You can find complete information about the changes to S-PLUS 6.2 at www.insightful.com/support/splus62win.

S-PLUS 6.2 is fully integrated with Insightful Miner, meaning that you can take advantage of Insightful Miner's pipeline architecture to apply S-PLUS scripts to very large data sets. More information about how S-PLUS and Insightful Miner work together can be found at www.insightful.com/products/iminer
