In the lower window the S code is executed by R via iESS. latest release version 5.13 genre Cross platform Cross platform development environments license GPL website http ess.r project.org ess.r project.org Emacs Speaks Statistics ESS is an Emacs package of modes for statistical languages. It adds two types of modes to emacs ESS modes for editing statistical languages like R programming language R and SAS software SAS and inferior ESS iESS modes for interacting with statistical processes like R and SAS. Modes of types 1 and 2 work seamlessly together. In addition, modes of type 1 provide the capability to submit a batch job for statistical packages like SAS, BUGS or Just another Gibbs sampler when an interactive session is unwanted due to the potentially lengthy time required for the task to complete. With Emacs Speaks Statistics, the user can conveniently edit statistical language commands in one emacs buffer, and execute the code in a second. There are a number of advantages of doing data analysis using Emacs ESS in this way, rather than interacting with R, S PLUS or other software directly. First, as indicated above, ESS provides a convenient way of writing and executing code without frequently switching between programs. This also encourages the good practice of keeping a record of one s data analysis, equivalent to working from do files in Stata . Third, since emacs is also an able editor of LaTeX files, it facilitates the integration of data analysis and written text with Sweave .

The survey is conducted face to face with an in person interview by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago , of a randomly selected sample of adults 18 who are not institutionalized. The survey was conducted every year from 1972 to 1994 except in 1979, 1981, and 1992 . Since 1994, it has been conducted every other year. The survey takes about 90 minutes to administer. As of 2010 28 national samples with 55,087 respondents and 5,417 variables had been collected. The data collected about this survey includes both demographic information and respondent s opinions on matters ranging from government spending to the state of Race classification of human beings race relations to the existence and nature of God . Because of the wide range of topics covered, and the comprehensive gathering of demographic information, survey results allow social scientists to correlate demographic factors like age, race, gender, and urban rural upbringing with beliefs, and thereby determine whether, for example, an average middle aged black male respondent would be more or less likely to move to a different U.S. state for economic reasons than a similarly situated white female respondent or whether a highly educated person with a rural upbringing is more likely to believe in a transcendent God than a person with an urban upbringing and only a high school education. GSS results are freely made available to interested parties over the internet, and are widely used in sociological research. The data are generally available in formats designed for statistical programs e.g., SAS software SAS SPSS Stata . The GSS was recently linked to the National Death Index.
