determineDepth

Determine depth of letter values needed for n observations.

Implements the letter value 'boxplot' which extends the
standard 'boxplot' to deal with both larger and smaller number of data
points by dynamically selecting the appropriate number of letter
values to display.

<dl><dt>n</dt>
<dd>number of observation to be shown in the LV boxplot</dd>
<dt>k</dt>
<dd>number of letter value statistics used</dd>

<dd>if supplied, depth k is calculated such that (1-<code>alpha</code>)100
intervals of an LV statistic do not extend into
neighboring LV statistics.</dd>
