Thread-topic: Reverse cumulative distribution curves
Does anybody ever generate reverse cumulative distribution curves for
antibody concentration?  The X axis is antibody concentration (ug/mL)
and Y axis is % of subjects, by case-control groups and different
serotypes.  I use windows OS, S plus 6.1 version.  Thanks.

      "signif(1, dig=20)" produced 1 for me on S-Plus 6.2 under Windows 
2000, though S+2000 on the same machine reproduced the bug you
mentioned. 

      hope this helps.
