Hi John,
thanks for the suggestion.  What would one consider as large range?
> summary(finalwt)
   Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean          3rd Qu.             Max. 
    1.8   192.1   462.7      872.8          1018.0          67150.0
The sample is large: about 250,000.
How large a sample should one draw from the sample? There are also plenty of 
missing values.
Anupam.
