Last week I asked for input regarding statistical enhancements for future
versions of S-PLUS.  As promised, I've compiled the responses and am
attaching them as a text file.  I've anonymized them, with the exception of
retaining a few names of those mentioning their algorithms.

The summary is that there isn't a consensus as to what the primary needs
are.  The most-mentioned direction was probably MCMC methods, with mixed
effect models a close second.  Which techniques are suggested vary across
the spectrum of statistical areas.

Thanks to all of those who responded.  I'll circulate these anonymized
responses internally to the relevant parties here.
