[Fix Ace]

Thank you very much!
I do need to learn more about R!!

 Increasing the value of 'n' given to density will give an estimate at more points so it will look smoother.  Try n=2^18.

 I have a dataset with 6187 elements, ranged from 3 to 104028. When I tried to examine only small range of data, I found that the plot was not smooth (as shown below):
plot(density(test$V2), xlim=c(0,1000))


 Is there away to make it smoother?
Thanks a lot!!
