...to explain why there are no parameter estimates. The data I WILL be applying this to comes from the financial markets, and will be reals or floating point numbers that in some cases wil be best modelled by a normal distribution while in most cases, the distribution will be closer to cauchy. (but DistributionFits(fBasics) makes no explicit mention of cauchy, but IIRC cauchy is a special case of a stable distribution one of a family - are these the L-stable distributions Mandelbrot discussed, or something else - correct me if my memory has failed me sooner than anticipated ;-) An URL for a website discussi...

....so &c files suggested to me that it might work. (3) Getting the sources of the fBasics package and putting the if (exists("winMenuAdd")) {} wrapper in zzz.R was not sufficient to make fBasics "work" under Solaris: one of the Fortran codes exercised by example(distributionFits) crashes (UNIX signal). My understanding is that it also does this under Linux. At this point my knowledge and skills ran out. I'm a fairly fluent "speaker" of Fortran, but know nothing about *debugging* a mixture of R, R internals, and Fortran. The fact that it w...
