Dear all, A looong time ago, Witold Eryk Wolski asked here why there wasn't a log="xy" parameter to the hist() function <URL:http://www.R-project.org/nocvs/mail/r-help/2001/0267.html>, and Prof. Ripley responded that a loglog histogram does not make much sense, and that one should use a better density estimate if one seeks to plot log density. I understand the point and I hope you will forgive my ignorance: What alternatives do I have in R? (In astronomy, which is full of power laws, loglog histograms are not infrequently seen, I have resisted making them since this post, but it is getting hard... :-) ). Best, Kjetil
