This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief with approval by the Co-Editors. Please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal ( http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). Reason: This article was submitted on January 26, 2009 to Computational Statistics and Data Analysis (CSDA) and the same paper was submitted on January 27, 2009 to Journal of Multivariate Analysis (JMVA). The paper was rejected by JMVA and after two revisions it was accepted by CSDA in July 2009. On November 17, 2009, the Editor-in-Chief was notified by one of the CSDA Associate Editors that the Associate Editor was aware that the paper was submitted to two journals around the same time. In response to an inquiry made by the Editor-in-Chief, the author indicated that he submitted it to two journals (JMVA and CSDA) to ensure prompt publication. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that the paper is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and we apologize to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
