XLispStat is a statistical scientific package based on the XLISP language.
Many free statistical software like ARC (nonlinear curve fitting problems) and ViSta are based on this package.[ citation needed]
It includes a variety of statistical functions and methods, including routines for nonlinear curve fit.[ citation needed] Many add-on packages have been developed to extend XLispStat, including contingency tables [3] and regression analysis [4]
XLispStat has seen usage in many fields, including astronomy, [5] GIS, [6] speech acoustics, [7] econometrics, [8] and epidemiology. [9]
XLispStat was historically influential in the field of statistical visualization. [10]
Its author, Luke Tierney, wrote a 1990 book on it. [11]
XLispStat dates to the late 1980s/early 1990s and probably saw its greatest popularity in the early-to-mid 1990s with greatly declining usage since. In the 1990s it was in very widespread use in statistical education, but has since been mostly replaced by R. There is a paper explaining why UCLA's Department of Statistics abandoned it in 1998, [12] and their reasons for doing so likely hold true for many other of its former users.
Source code to XLispStat is available under a permissive license (similar terms to BSD) [13]
XLisp-Stat... has had considerable impact on the development of statistical visualization systems.
