Hi Jeff,

Thank you very much for your response. Your code produced exactly the same as 
I described. I also like your idea of including 'wt' matrix. Can you please 
suggest me if the 'volinp' is not sequential? Consider a new 'volinp', like:  

volinp<-c(0,0.000467,0.002762,0.008621,0.020014,0.038907,0.067094)

How can I deal with this?

Regards,

Halim
