Thanks a lot for all the responses. The general drift of all the messages was the suggestion to use some database management package that has a nice interface with R; and most of the suggestions pointed in the direction of SQL. I will look into the SQL package and start learning to use it along

of) numerical optimization and integration is a craft, and it seems you need to know more about it. The references on ?optim are too advanced I guess, so you could start with Chapter 16 of MASS and its references. On Thu, 24 May 2007, Deepankar Basu wrote: Hi R users, I have a couple
