Suku, Just to clarify, in your table and each of your images, it appears that the start position of P (start1) is _after_ or at the start position of Q (start2), and the end position of P (end1) is _before_ or at the end position of Q (end2). If these positions represent increasing integers, then

Hi, You need to define what you want more exactly--what are the possible conclusions (hypotheses) you want to reach? Based on what you've said, I can think of several different approaches you might want, but I'm not sure which one of them you're actually after. For example: Hypothesis A: The dist

Sorry for posting to the R list. P Q 12, 28 10, 42 2, 5 1, 55 32, 50 22, 63 . there are 1 points of P and Q. The number of points of P and Q are equal (i,e 1). The interval P always overlaps with Q. i,e start1https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo

Suku, It looks like you might want to consult with a [bio]statistician, but I'm interested in what these distances represent. Can you give some additional context for your problem? How were these distances collected? Is it a collection of pairs of intervals, like this: P

First of all, read the posting guide carefully : http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html Your question is far from clear. When you say that the lengths of P and Q are different, you mean the length of the data or the difference between start and end? That makes a world of difference. Regarding
