[R] Function Distributions does not exist in package stats
Hello, 'Distribution' is not the name of a function in package stats. At an R prompt type ?Distributions. In that help page you will read "Distributions {stats} R Documentation Distributions in the stats package Description Density, cumulative distribution function, quantile function and random variate generation for many standard probability distributions are available in the stats package. " followed by the available distributions. There are also many other distributions available in the many packages on CRAN. Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 13-10-2016 17:42, hugo escreveu:> I was looking function Distribution into stats package: it does not exist! > > I am working with: > > version > _ > platform x86_64-pc-linux-gnu > arch x86_64 > os linux-gnu > system x86_64, linux-gnu > status > major 3 > minor 3.1 > year 2016 > month 06 > day 21 > svn rev 70800 > language R > version.string R version 3.3.1 (2016-06-21) > nickname Bug in Your Hair > > Sincerely > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

[R] Function Distributions does not exist in package stats
Hi Hugo, If you look at the help page for "distributions", you will see that it describes a number of functions that return density functions, etc. for specific distributions. If you are looking for something that informs you which distribution might approximate an existing set of values, try the "fitdistr" function in the MASS package.
