Thank you Jim for your answer.Ok alpha( it is the speed of the boat) is a
range of number from 0.5 to 10 like 0.5,1,1.5,2...., I would like to have
the mean of x and y base on each value of alpha, because I have like ten
numbers of x for each value of speed, thats why I want the mean of that and
them i could create the roc plot with the new values.
I would say that alpha values are ordered already?
Thanks , Marta
