Description:

This package provides Emacs Speaks Statistics (ESS), which provides
Emacs-based front ends for popular statistics packages.

ESS provides an intelligent, consistent interface between the user and
the software. ESS interfaces with S-PLUS, R, SAS, BUGS and other
statistical analysis packages under the Unix, Microsoft Windows, and
Apple Mac OS operating systems. ESS is a package for the GNU Emacs and
XEmacs text editors whose features ESS uses to streamline the creation
and use of statistical software. ESS knows the syntax and grammar of
statistical analysis packages and provides consistent display and
editing features based on that knowledge. ESS assists in interactive
and batch execution of statements written in these statistical
analysis languages.
