Modern Applied Statistics with S-Plus by W.N. Venables & B.D. Ripley ==================================================================== This directory contains Unix software from the fourth printing. VR4.Z compressed Unix shar archive of the software VR4.gz gzipped Unix shar archive of the software scripts.Z compressed Unix shar archive of S-Plus code given in the text scripts.gz gzipped Unix shar archive of S-Plus code given in the text Use BINARY ftp transfers for all these files. Patch enhancements and corrections to software on the book diskette for the second printing Patch3 Updates for the third printing Problems known problems with installation fixes.q corrections to known problems in S-Plus 3.2 rel 1 for Sun (and probably other platforms, but not 3.3). The directories SunOS4 and SunOS5 contain pre-compiled object modules for those machines. Installation ------------ Copy VR4.Z and scripts.Z to a convenient directory (not the S-Plus library directory). Then zcat VR4.Z | sh or gzcat VR4.gz | sh mkdir scripts cd scripts zcat ../scripts.Z | sh or gzcat ../scripts.gz | sh cd .. will unpack the software and the scripts, the latter in a subdirectory. Appendix D and the file Install contain instructions on building the software, but ./INS may well work. The software can then be used as a private library (see Appendix D), or if access is available, the directories MASS nnet and spatial can be linked or moved to the directory SHOME/library, where SHOME can be found by Splus SHOME. It that case the file README should be appended to SHOME/library/README. To update Unix version ---------------------- The current patch level is 2.7. The only known errors in the software from the second printing are in plot.survfit and vcov.lm. In addition, jasa1 is read incorrectly in both the second and third printings. For the second printing, get the file Patch and update the book copy of VR2 by patch -N VR2 < Patch then re-install the software. For the third printing, get the file Patch3 and update the book copy of VR2 by patch -N VR2 < Patch3 then re-install the software.
