The code in this library section is not supported by StatSci. This section contains example functions and data objects introduced in the "The New S Language" book by Becker, Chambers and Wilks (1988). There is no detailed documentation for these functions, since they are all covered in some detail in the book. The following functions are present in this section (supporting functions are not listed): FUNCTION USE All.names All Names Present in an Expression all.words All Words Constructed from a Phone Number annoy Rings bell on terminal backdrop Bar Plot with Backdrop Shading balance.of.trade Playfair Balance of Trade Plot bartable Bar Plot from Category bivariate.barplot Bivariate Bar Plot check.write Turns Numbers into English Words col.labels Set/Retrieve Matrix Column Labels collection Manage Related Collections of Data contour.xyz Contour Irregularly Spaced x,y,z Data day.of.week Day of Week from Julian Date density.plot One-Dimensional Density Plot deriv Symbolic Derivatives deriv2 Caching Version of Symbolic Derivatives diag<- Replace Diagonal of Matrix digits Vector of Digits from a Number function.diff Show Differences Between Two Functions gcd Greatest Common Denominator get.or.null Gets Dataset or else Returns NULL golf Solitaire Card Game ichar Integer Equivalent for Ascii Characters income.statement Graphical Income Statement is.dir Test if argument is a directory jdate Julian Date for Today jitter Jitter Data for Plotting julian Julian Date from Month Day Year larger Picks the Larger Element from Two Args lock.axis Lock-In a Axis for Graphics lscollection List of Current Collections make Compile and Dynamically Load mixplot Barycentric Plot of 3-Component Mixture month.day.year Convert Julian Date to Month Day Year multi.match Match Multiple Patterns to Character Data myplot Do-it-yourself Plot Function Nchar Number of Characters in a String numbar Barplot With Numbers Positioned at Bar Ends persp.xyz Prepare Matrix for Persp from Irregular x,y,z Data phone.number Turn Character String into Dialing Digits for Phone quantile.plot Empirical Quantile Plot quantum Find Common Denominator for Fractions quick.print Print With Limited Number of Decimals quiz Menu-oriented Quiz Program randu Bad Random Number Generator row.labels Set/Retrieve Matrix Row Labels shaded.ts Shade in Area Under Plot of Time Series Sign Sign of Numbers (-1, 0, +1) signum Sign for Complex Numbers sleep Wait For Specified Time Interval string.match Match Pattern in Character Vector tbl Create File for the Tbl Preprocessor to Troff theoretical.plot Plot Data Against Quantiles of Theoretical Distn unlock.axis Unlock Plotting Axis zero Find Zeros of a Function The Following datasets are present: NAME CONTENTS exports Playfair's British Exports Data honda Automobile Mileage Data imports Playfair's British Imports Data month.length Lengths of the 12 Months months Month Names
