Abstract
Some of the most basic functions available in S-Plus were presented in the previous chapter. It is time to move on to more advanced data structures that will allow easier completion of necessary tasks. We begin with matrices and then branch out into more specialized structures like data frames and lists. Subsetting by index value and missing values are introduced and we close with a few new applications and a review of the material covered in the chapter.
