Lisp–stat: An Object–Oriented Environment for Statistical Computing and Dynamic Graphics

Written for the professional statistician or graduate statistics student, the primary objective of this book is to describe a system, based on the LISP language, for statistical computing and dynamic graphics to show how it can be used as an effective platform for a wide range of statistical computing tasks ranging from basic calculations to customizing dynamic graphs. In addition, it introduces object–oriented programming and graphics programming in a statistical context. The discussion of these ideas is based on the Lisp–Stat system; readers with access to such a system can reproduce the examples presented and use them as a basis for further experimentation and study.
