<html><body>Rafik, <br /><br />I will offer my services as well. In addition to the knowledge of others who volunteer here, I taught statistics & econometrics for decades and can look at any issues based on how the statistics were assembled, and what techniques were used. Sorry for the delay. I am up to my neck in work as a result of climate change events and farming (my farm is on Lake Ontario and some fields are not planted because there are fish swimming in the fields (excessive rains and high water!).<br /><br />Ciao, Sam<br /><br /><font face="Tahoma" size="2">----------------------------------------------<br>
