[R] A question on Statistics

[Bert Gunter]

>From the posting guide:

"*R-help* is intended to be comprehensible to people who want to use R to
solve problems but who are not necessarily interested in or knowledgeable
about programming."

This says to me that R-help is for general questions about R programming,
not statistics, though I grant you that the intersection is nonempty.
Nevertheless, purely statistical issues should be posted elsewhere, and
your query appears to be such.

However, I'll just note: what does "centered at 0" mean for an asymmetric
distribution? I think you may need to reconsider Jeff's advice.


Cheers,
Bert
