S-PLUS User Groups

StatLib

StatLib is an electronic archive of over 270 S-PLUS user contributed packages, most containing multiple functions. Many new statistical procedures are made available for general use in this way. The web site is http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/S. This is also independent of StatSci/Insightful, administered out of Carnegie Mellon university. This archive is part of the larger Statlib site, which contains a wide variety of items of interest to statisticians, including meeting notices, datasets, and code.

S-news

S-news is an email newsgroup of international S and S-PLUS users. S-news receives very few postings from StatSci/Insightful; this is an independent email list administered at Washington University, St. Louis. It is open to anyone, even people who do not have S-PLUS.
