Hi Yixuan:

That's exactly what I wanted!  However, I can't seem to find that method 
at http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rcpp/html

Can you please point me to it?

From this...

Rcpp::NumericVector x(_x);

double a = fit(x.data(), n);

I get...

error: class Rcpp::NumericVector has no member named data

Am I doing something dumb?

I'm using Rcpp 0.10.3 w/ 2.15.3 R and GCC 4.4.7 if it matters.

Thanks,

Rodney
