XLISP-STAT is a statistical environment based on a dialect of the Lisp
-language called XLISP. Originally developed for the Apple Macintosh,
-XLISP-STAT is now also available for UNIX workstations using the X11
-window system and for Microsoft Windows. To facilitate statistical
-computations, standard Lisp functions for addition, logarithms, etc.,
-have been modified to operate on lists and arrays of numbers, and a
-number of basic statistical functions have been added. Many of these
-functions have been written in Lisp, and additional functions can be
-added easily by a user. Several basic forms of plots, including
-histograms, scatterplots, rotatable plots and scatterplot matrices are
-provided. These plots support various forms of interactive
-highlighting operations and can be linked so points highlighted in one
-plot will be highlighted in all linked plots. Interactions with the
-plots are controlled by the mouse, menus and dialog boxes. An
-object-oriented programming system is used to allow menus, dialogs,
-and the response to mouse actions to be customized.
