Are there any statistical packages that support ESS?

ESS provides a generic interface, through Emacs, to statistical packages. It currently supports R (and the rest of the S family), SAS, BUGS/JAGS, Stata, and Julia with the level of support roughly in that order. Throughout this manual, Emacs refers to GNU Emacs by the Free Software Foundation.

Where do you find ESS mods in Emacs?

ESS major mods are displayed in the mode-line in the format ESS[dialect], where dialect can take values such as R, SAS, or S. ESS also provides easy access to an “inferior process,” which is an Emacs buffer associated with a running process. This can be an R session, for example.

Can you edit more than one function in ESS?

Unlike the typical use of R where the editor is restarted every time an object is edited, ESS uses the current Emacs session for editing. In practical terms, this means that you can edit more than one function at once, and that the ESS process is still available for use while editing.

What are the features of ESS for Emacs?

For exclusively interactive users of R, ESS provides a number of features to make life easier. There is an easy to use command history mechanism, including a quick prefix-search history. To reduce typing, command-line completion is provided for all R objects and “hot keys” are provided for common R function calls.

Is the ESS text editor compatible with Emacs?

ESS interfaces with R, SAS, S-PLUS, BUGS/JAGS and other statistical analysis packages on GNU/Linux, other Unix-like systems such as macOS, and Microsoft Windows. ESS is itself a package within the Emacs text editor and uses Emacs features to streamline the creation and use of statistical software.

Are there any statistical packages that support Emacs?

What kind of Emacs do you use in ESS?

Throughout this manual, Emacs refers to GNU Emacs by the Free Software Foundation. Although previous versions of ESS supported other Emacsen, current versions only support GNU Emacs. There are two main ways of interacting with ESS: through “regular” modes or “inferior” modes. Regular modes act like normal Emacs major modes.

Is the ESS package available under the GPL?

Without a unified text editor user interface additional effort is required from the user to cope with limited functionality and with text editor differences. Therefore, emacs editors and the ESS package provide the following major features: ESS is freely available under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

Why does ESS use the current Emacs session?

For those that use R in the typical edit–test–revise cycle when writing R functions, ESS provides for editing of R functions in Emacs buffers. Unlike the typical use of R where the editor is restarted every time an object is edited, ESS uses the current Emacs session for editing.

How do you connect a breakout board to an ESS?

This connection is usually made via a ribbon cable. An inexpensive alternative to a breakout board is to connect a ribbon cable to the ESS that has a 26-pin header at one end, and no connector at the other. Simply connect the wires of the ribbon cable to each component in your system.
