Insightful Corporation Releases S-PLUS 8 Enterprise Developer

Insightful Corporation, a provider of predictive analytics and reporting solutions, announced today the immediate availability of S-PLUS 8 Enterprise Developer, the latest major release of Insightful's software platform for statistical data analysis and predictive analytics.

S-PLUS 8 Enterprise Developer provides statisticians and developers with enhanced programming efficiencies, versatility, comprehensive graphics production and advanced statistical methods, all of which increase programmers' ability to anticipate and plan for change. With S-PLUS 8 Enterprise Developer, IT organizations can speed their deployment of advanced, integration-friendly analytical solutions. S-PLUS 8 Enterprise Developer also provides users with the visualization and reporting tools necessary to communicate results to technical and non-technical audiences, delivering the knowledge to act on critical decision points.

Key Features in S-PLUS 8.0:

  • Workbench: This feature, originally introduced in S-PLUS 7, has been further enhanced in the 8 release. Programmers can speed the development of  applications for competitive advantage by using the new debugger and profiler. The interactive debugger allows users to quickly debug S-PLUS code from within the S-PLUS workbench. The workbench has step debugging and breakpoints. The profiler provides an environment for writing and developing functions in S-PLUS that allow profiling of time and memory allocation within S-PLUS tasks. The user can now optimize the code's execution by evaluating where bottlenecks exist.
  • Graphics enhancements: In version 8, Insightful has included a larger and normalized color palette as well as providing simplified code to deliver complex graphs and charts.
  • S-PLUS Package System: S-PLUS 8 Enterprise Developer provides a framework for creating and distributing libraries for S-PLUS and for converting packages written in R (S-PLUS's open-source cousin) for use in S-PLUS.
  • S language extensions: Over one hundred new functions have been added in order to support the graphics enhancements, the S-PLUS Package System and to augment compatibility with R. Types of functions that have been added include math, character, file manipulation and string manipulation.

S-PLUS 8 is available today for Microsoft Windows, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Sun Solaris operating systems. For more information, visit http://www.insightful.com.
