HMISC package: wtd.table()

Hi useRs & developeRs,

I got stuck within a function of the Hmisc package. Sounds easy, hope it is:

I got 2 items (FamTyp.kurz, HGEW) of same length, no missings.

length(FamTyp.kurz);summary(FamTyp.kurz)

[1] 14883
   Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.
  10.00   20.00   21.00   21.66   23.00   31.00

length(HGEW);summary(HGEW)

[1] 14883
   Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.
  104.5   409.6   489.4   549.8   623.3  3880.0

Now I simply want to compute a table of unweighted and weighted values. But, ...  the weights do not seem to be accepted ????

  print("unweighted ....");print(table(FamTyp.kurz))

[1] "unweighted ...."
FamTyp.kurz
  10      11    20       21     22      23     30      31
1755  683 3322 1683 2428 1440 1748 1824

  print("weighted   ....");print(wtd.table(FamTyp.kurz,weigths=HGEW,normwt=FALSE,na.rm=TRUE))

[1] "weighted   ...."
Error in wtd.table(FamTyp.kurz, weigths = HGEW, normwt = FALSE, na.rm = TRUE) :
  unused arguments (weigths = c(495.55949, 495.55949, 678.16378, 678.16378,  .....


any ideas ???

thanx in advance,
    Norbert

oops, that really was easy:

(wtd.table(FamTyp.kurz,HGEW,normwt=FALSE,na.rm=TRUE))  instead of 
(wtd.table(FamTyp.kurz,weigths=HGEW,normwt=FALSE,na.rm=TRUE))

sorry for that question ...

(wtd.table(FamTyp.kurz,weigths=HGEW,normwt=FALSE,na.rm=TRUE))

That is one solution.  The other is to spell 'weights' correctly

Have pity with us German speakers. It was such a paing to learn  
"th" that we cannot resist to apply it whenever pothible.
