[R] Problem detect cheating with CopyDetect Package

[Jeff Newmiller]

If we R users unfamiliar with the details of the CopyDetect package are to be able to help,  we would need a reproducible example that includes data. See to http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html and http://adv-r.had.co.nz/Reproducibility.html for discussion on how to ask for help online.

I will make a wild guess that your data is nowhere near as broadly variable as this algorithm needs in order to work... but it might just be incorrect specification of parameters. Either way you have hidden the answers from us. If you think the package is broken or you need help with the theory you should identify the maintainer with the maintainer() function and correspond with them.
