CSAN, the Comprehensive S-PLUS Archive Network, provides data analysis and statistical methods to the community of S-PLUS users. The methods are provided as self contained software packages that can be loaded into S-PLUS. The initial packages are S-PLUS specific. With recent work on making common functions and interfaces in S-PLUS and R, we intend this site to grow into a collection of open-source, cross-dialect-compatible packages over time.
