[R] two questions re: the use of lattice

[David L Carlson]

Run this before the bwplot() command:

z$Method <- factor(z$Method, levels = c("BIC", "ICL", "s_v", "Q_v", 
  "sig-q", "s_lsk", "s_lML", "s_mlsk", "s_mlML", "s_la8", "s_haar"))

I don't have an answer for the 2nd question. Seems like it must be
possible.
