Dear Helmut & all,

Yes, I am doing this part. However, the question is all data points cannot be zero (the first data point is the case?) or strictly speaking all data points must greater than 1.0 (otherwise, it will cause negative values, such as log10(0.65)). It may be quite common to have some Cp < 1.0 in BE study. In R, there is some packages that can ignore that, such as the option 'zero.rm(foo)'; however, these packages are still not available for R3.0.0. Any suggestion? Thanks in advanced.

❝ • Think about geometric means/SD; some (European) regulators prefer a plot of geometric rather arithmetic means.

❝ Hint: SD_geom=exp(sqrt(1/(n-1) × Sum((ln(x)-ln(x_geom))²)) - hope, I got all the parentheses right.
