Can anyone show me the exact meaning about that? thanks Saji from Shanghai ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ******************************************************************* This email and any attachments are confidential.
