3. Differences between R and S Plus

 

Here's a document from Insightful on this issue...

 

Comparing S-PLUS 6_2 and R.pdf

 

This document was written to compare the use of S-PLUS 6.2 and R for users in commercial environments. Since this document was published, both S-PLUS and R have changed considerably. In particular the way S-PLUS deals with large data sets has been completely re-architected in S-PLUS 7. See the white paper "Analyzing Large Data Sets with S-PLUS 7 Developer" (downloadable from: http://www.insightful.com/insightful_doclib/document.asp?id=167) for more information.
