Abstract
The new S engine introduced a very different approach to classes, although backwards compatibility is provided for the classes as described in Chapter 4. The current S-PLUS systems rely very heavily on this backwards compatibility; at present new-style classes are used only at a low level and in the time-series manipulation software. The definitive reference for the new-style classes is Chambers (1998).
