Maybe I'm missing something. > sessionInfo() R version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25) Platform: x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 LC_NUMERIC=C LC_TIME=en_US.utf8 [4] LC_COLLATE=en_US.utf8 LC_MONETARY=en_US.utf8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8 [7] LC_PAPER=en_US.utf8 LC_NAME=C LC_ADDRESS=C [10] LC_TELEPHONE=C LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.utf8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base Thanks, M ______________________________________________ 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.
