Per the posting guide linked below (have you read it??): "*Questions about statistics:* The R mailing lists are primarily intended for questions and discussion about the R software. However, questions about statistical methodology are sometimes posted. If the question is well-asked and of interest to someone on the list, it *may* elicit an informative up-to-date answer. See also the Usenet groups sci.stat.consult (applied statistics and consulting) and sci.stat.math (mathematical stat and probability).*"*
So don't be surprised if you don't receive any response. You might also try posting at stats.stackexchange.com. No guarantees there either.
