- XLISP-STAT is a statistical environment based on a dialect of the Lisp
- language called XLISP. Originally developed for the Apple Macintosh,
- XLISP-STAT is now also available for UNIX workstations using the X11
- window system and for use on SUn workstations running suntools. To
- facilitate statistical computations standard Lisp functions for
- addition, logarithms, etc., have been modified to operate on lists and
- arrays of numbers, and a number of basic statistical functions have
- been added. Many of these functions have been written in Lisp, and
- additional functions can be added easily by a user. Several basic
- forms of plots, including histograms, scatterplots, rotatable plots
- and scatterplot matrices are provided. These plots support various
- forms of interactive highlighting operations and can be linked so
- points highlighted in one plot will be highlighted in all linked
- plots. Interactions with the plots are controlled by the mouse, menus
- and dialog boxes. An object-oriented programming system is used to
- allow menus, dialogs, and the response to mouse actions to be
- customized.
