[R] Distributional characteristics

[Spencer Graves]

	  I haven't seen a reply to your post, and I would like to help you. 
Unfortunately, I don't see a question in your email.  Please tell us why 
"changing the variable (x-1,ln(x)) didn't get satisfying results", 
preferably using a toy example that someone else can copy from your 
email in to R and test a couple if ideas in a matter of seconds.  I 
believe doing that will increase the chances that you will receive a 
quick and useful reply.  (And PLEASE do read the posting guide! 
"http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html".  Many people have found 
it quite helpful.)
