These notes describe some of the basic statistical operations which may be useful when examining
data using the PC Windows version of S-Plus.
<P><a href="http://www.mathsoft.com/splus">S-Plus</a>
is a powerful computer package for interactive data exploration, producing
graphs and performing many standard and non-standard statistical operations.
S-Plus is well suited to the analysis of data from many scientific fields.
<p>Here S-Plus is used to do the statistical calculations and draw graphs in the
analysis of several example data sets.
No previous familiarity with the statistical ideas covered, or with S-Plus, is assumed.
<p>If S-Plus for Windows is accessible from your computer then these notes can be used to
best effect by opening a S-Plus window alongside your Web browser window and, as you
move through the pages, performing the operations as described in the notes.
