摘要：
A clarification is given of the main result (1. 1) in Communications in Statistics: Theory and Methods 34:753-766. The term {1 + 6a(r - a)}(1/3) is to be understood as sgn(1 + 6a(r - a)) vertical bar 1 + 6a(r - a)vertical bar(1/3). The result is expressed in a more userfriendlyform. An issue is raised regarding the common usage of the expression x(1/n) when n is even.
