R help - Apr 2013 - lmomco - Three-Parameter Pearson 5 Distribution

Dear R forum,

I am bit confused and please guide me -

(1) Is "Pearson Type III Distribution" as given in lmomco package same
as Three Parameter Pearson 5 Distribution?

If not, how do I estimate the parameters of Three Parameter Pearson 5
Distribution?

(2) Is there any other R forum dealing with only Statistical queries?

Kindly guide

Regards

Katherine

The website named Crossvalidated , http://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/ 
  , is designed for purely statistical questions although it cannot be  
considered an "R forum". It has a large number of responders who are  
proficient in R. If you include a workable example it may attract  
answers from R users and have R solutions offered. The StackOverflow  
site is affiliated and if it is seen as a pure-R question, i.e one  
with primarily data manipulation or R syntactical issues, questions to  
CV may get "migrated" to SO. Look over the questions and answers in  
both websites to get an idea of the pattern of questions and responses.
