[Rd] Problem with fitdistr function while estimating parameters
Hello,
I am using fitdistr function for parameter estimation.
When I use
fd<-fitdistr(V2,"gamma")
I get following error:
Error in optim(x = c(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, :
initial value in 'vmmin' is not finite
fd<-fitdistr(V2,"weibull")
Error in optim(x = c(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, :
non-finite value supplied by optim
But if I use following I dont get any errors.
fd<-fitdistr(V2,"exponential")
I have included necessary libraries.
How can i remove this error?Are there any restrictions in using fitdistr
function?If yes is there any alternative approach for solving such problem?
My aim is to get estimated value of parameters.
Data is as follows:
N
