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 Microsoft Windows. 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. +language called XLISP.
