hi all i would like to know if anyone has a reference on how one would place the "bands" on the pp plot. i want to test whether or not a certain data set comes from a particular distribution (not normal). i've already plotted F(X(j)) vs j/(n+1) where F(x) is the cum dist function, X(j) is the j'th order statistic and n is the sample size. a goole search gave arb references

Dear r-list, I am trying to visually seperate the two main clusters of a dendrogram. The idea is to use: 'edgePar=list(lty=3)' for 'dend1[[1]]' and 'edgePar=list(lty=1)' for 'dend1[[2]]' I have not found a way to solve this. Any suggestions? Patrick hc <- hclust(dist(USArrests), "ave") (dend1 <- as.dendrogram(hc)) par(mfrow=c(2,2)) plot(dend1)

Dear All, How can the height of a leaf be extracted from a dendrogram? Sure, I can print it, but I am not able to, say, store it in an object. I think I understand that the height is a property of the split, not the leaf itself, but the printing functions display a "height" or "h" (which changes with "hang") and that is what I want. Obviously, the info is there

First, thanks to everyone who helped me get to grips with R in (x)emacs (I get confused easily). Special thanks to Stephen Eglen for continued support. My question is about non-linear binning, or density functions over distributions governed by a power law ... y ~ mu*x**lambda # In one of its forms # (can't find Pareto in the online help) Looking at the following
