Well, I tried to send a private message, but the e-mail address you have
specified seems to be unknown for your mail server ... Please fix it
before posting messages.

If you think QAIC is useful and there's no implemented solution yet (I
haven't found any in a *quick* search through CRAN packages), patches
and suggestions including code and documentation are welcome as usual (I
don't know that much about QAIC, and cannot judge its worth, though).
