Download S-PLUS</h2> <b>Students:</b> <br> You must have a copy of S-PLUS for Windows, version 6.1 or higher. If you are a university student, you can download a <i>free copy</i> of the <i>S-PLUS Student Edition</i> to install on your personal Windows PC. Visit <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20051124094505/http://elms03.e-academy.com/splus/" target="_blank">http://elms03.e-academy.com/splus/</a>, follow the instructions to register as a student, and download the software. Install S-PLUS on your computer. We recommend allowing the installation program to choose file locations. <br>   <br> <b>Instructors:</b> <br> You must have a copy of S-PLUS for Windows, version 6.1 or higher. (You can also use a Unix/Linux version, but it lacks the menu interface that we feel is important for student use.) You can obtain a trial version and contact information for personal or site licenses at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20051124094505/http://www.insightful.com/industry/academic/" target="_blank">http://www.insightful.com/industry/academic/</a>. <br>   <br> <h2>2. Download two new libraries for S-PLUS:</h2> The IPSdata library <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20051124094505/http://www.insightful.com/Hesterberg/bootstrap/" target="_blank"> http://www.insightful.com/Hesterberg/bootstrap/</a> and the <br> S+Resample library <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20051124094505/http://www.insightful.com/downloads/libraries" target="_blank"> http://www.insightful.com/downloads/libraries</a> <br>   <br> You will be asked to register (free) in order to download the resample library. If you register with your correct email address, Insightful will notify you when there are new versions of either library. <br>   <br> The libraries are sent as ZIP archives. You will require a program that enables you to open these files, such as <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20051124094505/http://www.winzip.com/" target="_blank">WinZip</a>. <br>   <br> Save the archives in a convenient location, then unzip both. Not all zip programs behave the same, alas. We recommend right-clicking on each archive, choosing "Extract to...." and specifying "IPSdata" as the destination folder. <br>   <br> Then look at the <i>.Prefs</i> folders in both the <i>IPSdata</i> and <i>resample</i> folders: right-click, choose "Properties," and be sure that "Read-only" is checked. It is set that way, but some zip programs lose this setting. If not checked, then select it and choose the option to apply read-only to all files in the folder. <br>   <br> 2. Place the <i>IPSdata</i> and <i>resample</i> folders in your S-PLUS <i>library</i> directory. If you allowed the S-PLUS installer to choose folder locations, this directory is at <i>C:\Program Files\Insightful\splusXX\library</i> where XX is the version number of your software, such as splus62. <h2>3. Try it out:</h2> You are now ready to add new resampling features to S-PLUS and to load the IPS data sets. Launch S-PLUS by clicking its icon. In the "File" menu at the far left, go to "Load Library". The IPSdata library should be the first entry in the list of libraries you see in the dialog box that appears. Be sure its name is highlighted, then click OK. This loads all of the IPS data files and also loads the S+Resample library. <br>   <br> To check that S-PLUS is ready to use for resampling, look at the "Statistics" menu. Go down to "Resample". You should see entries for "Bootstrap" and "Permutation Test". Then, in the <i>S-PLUS Object Explorer</i>, click on "Search Path" if it is not already expanded. (You can open the Object Explorer by clicking on an icon that looks like an open box with three things floating above it.) Click on "IPSdata". You should now see a list of all the data sets for IPS. Finally, there should also be a new entry at the right of the main S-PLUS menu bar, titled <i>IPSdata</i>. This menu has options to view the manual, view help files, view example code for exercises, or open a dataset. <br>   <br> </font> </div> </body> </html>
