Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".Template:Main other XLispStat is a statistical scientific package based on the XLISP language.
Many free statistical software like ARC (nonlinear curve fitting problems) and ViSta are based on this package.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
It includes a variety of statistical functions and methods, including routines for nonlinear curve fit.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Many add-on packages have been developed to extend XLispStat, including contingency tables[1] and regression analysis[2]
XLispStat has seen usage in many fields, including astronomy,[3] GIS,[4] speech acoustics,[5] econometrics,[6] and epidemiology.[7]
XLispStat was historically influential in the field of statistical visualization.[8]
Its author, Luke Tierney, wrote a 1990 book on it.[9]
XLispStat dates to the late 1980s/early 1990s and probably saw its greatest popularity in the early-to-mid 1990s with greatly declining usage since. In the 1990s it was in very widespread use in statistical education, but has since been mostly replaced by R. There is a paper explaining why UCLA's Department of Statistics abandoned it in 1998,[10] and their reasons for doing so likely hold true for many other of its former users.
