I would like to thank H. Larsson for his helpful reviews and comments on this manuscript and for introducing me to the R Language. Also, this manuscript was greatly improved by comments from P.D. Polly and from two anonymous reviewers. Work on this project was supported by a National Sciences and Engineering Research Council Canada Graduate Scholarship (Masters and Doctoral) and a Fonds Québécois de la Recherche sur la Nature et les Technologies Doctoral scholarship.
