Hi, I load my data set and separate it as folowing: presu <- read.table("C:/_Ricardo/Paty/qtdata_f.txt", header=TRUE, sep="\t", na.strings="NA", dec=".", strip.white=TRUE) dep<-presu[,3]; exo<-presu[,4:92]; Now, I want to use it using the wls and quantreg packages. How I change the data classes for mle and rq objects? Thanks a lot, Ricardo
