Lisp-Stat: An Object-Oriented Environment for Statistical Computing and Dynamic Graphics Hardcover

Luke Tierney

A system for statistical computing and dynamic graphics, based on the LISP language, is described in this book, which shows how to use the system for statistical calculations and graphs. The computations supported range from summary statistics through fitting linear and nonlinear regression models to general maximum likelihood estimation and approximate Bayesian computations. Standard graphs include scatter plots, rotatable plots and scatterplot matrices. No prior knowledge of LISP is assumed; the basics are introduced as they are needed. Several chapters include extensive examples.
