XLispStat is a statistical scientific package based on the XLISP language.

Many free statistical software like ARC (nonlinear curve fitting problems) and ViSta are based on this package.^{[citation needed]}

It includes a variety of statistical functions and methods, including routines for nonlinear curve fit.^{[citation needed]} Many add-on packages have been developed to extend XLispStat, including contingency tables^[3] and regression analysis^[4]

XLispStat has seen usage in many fields, including astronomy,^[5] GIS,^[6] speech acoustics,^[7] econometrics,^[8] and epidemiology.^[9]

XLispStat was historically influential in the field of statistical visualization.^[10]

Its author, Luke Tierney, wrote a 1990 book on it.^[11]

XLispStat dates to the late 1980s/early 1990s and probably saw its greatest popularity in the early-to-mid 1990s with greatly declining usage since. In the 1990s it was in very widespread use in statistical education, but has since been mostly replaced by R. There is a paper explaining why UCLA's Department of Statistics abandoned it in 1998,^[12] and their reasons for doing so likely hold true for many other of its former users.

Source code to XLispStat is available under a permissive license (similar terms to BSD)^[13]
