Please read the posting guide linked below, which says, in part:
"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. "
So do not be surprised if you do not get a response here.
stats.stackexchange.com may be a better venue for your query, too.
The posting guide also says:
"For questions about functions in standard packages distributed with R
(see the FAQ Add-on packages in R), ask questions on R-help.
If the question relates to a contributed package , e.g., one
downloaded from CRAN, try contacting the package maintainer first. You
can also use find("functionname") and
packageDescription("packagename") to find this information. Only send
such questions to R-help or R-devel if you get no reply or need
further assistance. This applies to both requests for help and to bug
reports."
So perhaps contacting the msm maintainer might be another possibility.
See ?maintainer for how to find their contact info.
Cheers,
