hello !
I have question concerning *kernel density plots*:

how to plot <density vs. the probability> of a vector, when that vector is very short (5-10 values)?
I tried:

 > plot(density(x))

or

 > hist(x,probability=T,border="white")
 > lines(density(x))

for small length of vectors, the ylab is not 0<ylab<1 but fro example from 0 to 3. thats confusing for a density... why is that?

Why do you think a density is smaller than one?
Consider a uniform distribution from 0 to 0.5, hope it still has a value of 2 between 0 and 0.5 ...

thanks for your time.
