Hi! Why there are no log="xy" parameter in the hist() function? Im looking for this option. I am using R1.1.1. THX in advance.

What would it mean? First, hist gives a density, so plotting on a log x scale is not correct: you would want the density of log x, not x, and you cna of course get that by hist(log(x)). Second, if you want to plot a log density, you should use a better density estimate, one that does not return 0, for example. If perchance what you are calling hist on is a discrete variate, you should not be using hist ....
I am using R1.1.1.
As ever, we suggest you keep R up to date. 1.2.1 is due tomorrow.
