...ethod to estimate FRECHET parameters of my sample data. Should it work with fitdistr in the package MASS? I only find how to do it for GEV, Gumbel, and almost all other distributions, but FRECHET? I would be very happy if somebody can tell me how to do fit the FRECHET distribution! Thanks Nadja Riedwyl

hello my data is data2:2743 4678 21427 6194 10286 1505 12811 2161 6853 2625 14542 694 11491 14924 28640 17097 2136 5308 3477 91301 11488 3860 64114 14334 by calculating shape<-(mean(data2))^2/var(data2) scale<-var(data2)/mean(data2) i get the idea what the parameters of the gammadistribution would be. but if i try using the method mle() i get stock and i don't know, how to

hello! i don't want to test my sample data for normality, but exponential- lognormal- or gammadistribution. as i've learnt the anderson-darling-test in R is only for normality and i am not supposed to use the kolmogorov-smirnov test of R for parameter estimates from sample data, is that true? can you help me, how to do this anyway! thank you very much! nadja

Dear all I've got the dataset data:2743;4678;21427;6194;10286;1505;12811;2161;6853;2625;14542;694;11491; ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? 14924;28640;17097;2136;5308;3477;91301;11488;3860;64114;14334 I know from other testing that it should be possible to fit the data with the exponentialdistribution. I tried to get parameterestimates for the exponentialdistribution with R, but as the values of the parameter

my problem actually arised with fitting the data to the weibulldistribution, where it is hard to see, if the proposed parameterestimates make sense. data1:2743;4678;21427;6194;10286;1505;12811;2161;6853;2625;14542;694;11491; ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? 14924;28640;17097;2136;5308;3477;91301;11488;3860;64114;14334 how am I supposed to know what starting values i have to take? i get different
