Hi, Thanks for the help. That worked fine. I never set the random seed myself so it must have been another program.
The only other programming language I am using is MATLAB. I don't know if that could be it.

How did it get to be double? You or some software you are using assigned it as such. It would be best to track that down, but rm(.Random.seed) is the preferred solution. > Thanks and kind regards, > > > Piero Visconti, PhD candidate > Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies > James Cook University > Townsville QLD 4811 Australia > Phone +61 7 47816024 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.coralcoe.org.au/ > > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > -- Brian D.
