[R] Academic studies over R-Help

[Boris Steipe]

Indeed, this is OT.  :-)

The way you have phrased your question, you are asking us for help to design your study. Certainly very OT.

Once your study is designed, and it is of clear, potential benefit to the R community, posting a concise _announcement_ here would not offend me.

Hope this helps.
