R help - Oct 2011 - apply and functions with many arguments

Dear all,
I would like to use the following function

fitdist(data, distr, method=c("mle", "mme", "qme",
"mge"),
start=NULL, fix.arg=NULL, ...)


for many different distr values like
distr=c("norm","lnorm","pois") (just a small
example)
and take back into a list the parameter name which is what is inside distr plus
what the function fitdist returns (another list).

How can I do that ?

Hi,

Take a look at 'expand.grid' and 'ddply' from the plyr package
or
foreach from the foreach package.

cheers,
Paul
