Hello I'm reading up on fitting truncated Weibull distribution to data. There are posts in 2002 that point to this presentation by Prof Bates: http://www.stat.wisc.edu/~bates/JSM2001.pdf but now the file is not there. I can't find it anywhere else, Google doesn't have a cached copy for it. Could someone please give me a copy of this file, if they have it? Thanks and regards, viet.

I am new to R. So, please bear with me if this questions is already been asked and answered. I am looking for a R function that fit a dataset to common distributions such as Normla, Log-Normal, Poisson, Weibull, and Beta. Basically I am looking for ways to estimate distribution parameters rather than having to write a program for it. Thanks for your help. T. S. Ramanarayanan Aventis
