Thanks, Ilyas. Can you expand on the above description some? What is the
definition of "combination"? And can you add a few setences about what
the
purpose of this is, and what values of "k" you find to be good ones, etc?
Readers will need some guidance about how/when/why to use icfe=2 rather
than
icfe=1.
