Re: [R] question from environmental statistics
Dear Dev I believe you may need some conceptual guidance in probability theory and statistics rather than help with a specific R function to solve your analysis. May I recomend you to visit the statistic consulting office in your campus or perhaps review a textbook on applied probability.
