Daniel,
Why do you think the data set (s) are twinned?
It would be useful to run truncate and look at the cumulative intensity
distributions for each of your data sets. The observed curves should be very
close to the theoretical curves. If not then there is something wrong with
the data set, one possibility maybe twinning.
Regards
