  <DESCRIPTION>
    <P>
    This function returns  in vector <VERB>nonan</VERB> the values
    (ignoring the  NANs) of a vector or  matrix <VERB>x</VERB> and
    in  the corresponding places  of vector  <VERB>numb</VERB> the
    indexes of the value.</P>
    <P>
    For      a      vector      or     matrix      <VERB>x</VERB>,
    <VERB>[nonan,numb]=thrownan(x)</VERB>    considers    <VERB>x</VERB>,
    whatever  his dimensions  are, like  a  vector (columns
    first).</P>
    <P>
    In  Labostat, NAN  values stand  for missing  values in
    tables.</P>
