I have a one-variable data set in R. The plot of histogram of my numerical variable suggests an inverse gaussian distribution. How can I obtain best estimation for the two parameters of inverse gaussian based on my data? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/estimate-inverse-gaussian-in-R-tp949692p949692.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
