Sorry, ESP not functioning. Reproducible example missing. There is always more than one way to do things in R, so you need to be specific.
Protip: learn to use the help system. For example, of the function you are using is called alpha, then type ?alpha at the R prompt and read. If the function is in a contributed package then you should load that package first. Documentation quality may vary due to volunteer dedication, but it often answers questions like this. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
