Hi Anderson,
It worked!! I have a second question please:
I wanted to do pearson correlation between X and Y to check the strength
and the direction of the relationship between the following two list of
variables:
    * X          Y*
  0.3766 0.418  0.6362 0.698  0.64 0.575  0.6559 0.596  0.6293 0.471  0.6766
0.462  0.2606 0.329  0.3875 0.658  0.7614 0.568  0.6844 0.515  0.5657 0.652
0.7142 0.561  0.7682 0.647  0.8661 0.816  0.7751 0.696
I included the previous variables in the following csv files : *x.csv* and
*y.csv* then I used the following PALM command line to correlate x and y : palm
-i x.csv -d y.csv

The out put of this command line are : palm_dat_tstat_cx.csv;
 palm_dat_tstat_cy.csv;  palm_dat_tstat_fwep_cx.csv;
 palm_dat_tstat_fwep_cy.csv;  palm_dat_tstat_uncp_cx.csv;
palm_dat_tstat_uncp_cy.csv
In general when I use pearson correlation for x and y I will have r and the
P value for r. My question is why in palm the output is for x and y in
other words why I have two P values one for x>y and one for y>x.

I am sorry but I was unable to figure out this point.
Thank you very much for your advices.
Antoine
