Hey James! How are you? Such a long time. We miss you!

Thank for your reply: basically using your tip everything run but the map is kind of weird: I think it is plotting the 3 variables of the my date set, when I actually care just about the first one. Thus I dunno how to select the variable I really one see. If try this I get an error message:

> quartz()
> missmap(k1[,1],csvar=3,tsvar=2)
Error in colMeans(is.na(obj)) :
  'x' must be an array of at least two dimensions

If I do the following code I get the attached graph, which is really the thing I wanna plot:

 k1 <-cbind(data1$INFMORT,data1$YEAR,data1$COUNTRY)
> k1 <-as.data.frame(k1)
> k1 <- as.matrix(k1)
> str(k1)
 num [1:4126, 1:3] 160 NA NA NA NA ...
 - attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2
  ..$ : NULL
  ..$ : chr [1:3] "V1" "V2" "V3"
> dim(k1)
[1] 4126    3
> head(k1)
      V1   V2 V3
[1,] 160 1962  1
[2,]  NA 1963  1
[3,]  NA 1964  1
[4,]  NA 1965  1
[5,]  NA 1966  1
[6,] 150 1967  1
> quartz()
> missmap(k1,csvar=3,tsvar=2)

Thank your for your time!
