R help - Jan 2005 - Fitting distribution with R: a contribute

Dear R-useRs,

I've written a contribute (in Italian language)
concering fitting distribution with R. I believe it
could be usefull for someones. It's available on CRAN
web-site:

http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Ricci-distribuzioni.pdf

Here's the abstract: 
This paper deals with distribution fitting using R
environment for statistical computing. It treats
briefly some theoretical issues and it points out
especially practical ones proposing some examples of R
statements for data graphical exploration and
presentation, parameters? estimates of patterns and
tests for goodness of fit.

Any comments and suggestion will be appreciated.

Top 10 reasons to become a Statistician

     1. Deviation is considered normal
     2. We feel complete and sufficient
     3. We are 'mean' lovers
     4. Statisticians do it discretely and continuously
     5. We are right 95% of the time
     6. We can legally comment on someone's posterior distribution
     7. We may not be normal, but we are transformable
     8. We never have to say we are certain
     9. We are honestly significantly different
    10. No one wants our jobs

Hi Vito

The document seems a systematic and organized primer on distribution fitting 
in R. Thanks for sharing it with the R community!.  Are you planning to make 
it available in English?  I would offer you help with the translation but I 
don't know enough italian to be useful for this task!

Regards

Francisco
