Dear R experts, I am trying to use the R MASS library fitdistr() to fit the following list: k21stsList<-c(0.76697,0.57642,0.75938,0.82616,0.93706,0.77377,0.58923,0.37157,0.60796,1.00070,0.97529,0.62858,0.63504,0.68697,0.61714,0.75227,1.16390,0.66702,0.83578) as follows, library(MASS) fitdistr(k21stsList, "normal") But, I get Error in fitdistr(k21stsList, "normal") :

This occurred after I installed R x64 2.13.1 on Windows: savePlot("95%.winners.wmf") saves the file as: "951nners.wmf" Is this the correct behavior, or have I bungled something?

Hi R lovers! I'd like to know how to use the parameter 'start' in the function fitdistr() obviously I have to provide the initial value of the parameter to optimize except in the case of a certain set of given distribution Indeed according to the help file for fitdistr " For the following named distributions, reasonable starting values will be computed if `start'

Hi, R users: I want to fit my data into a normal distribution by using the command "fitdistr" in "MASS". I changed my data class from "ts" to "numeric" by >class(mydata)="numeric" but after using "fitdistr", I got the result below >fitdistr(mydata,"normal") mean sd NA NA (NA) (NA) the help doc of

Please guide me through to resolve the error message that I get this is what i have done. >x1<- rnorm(100,2,1) >x1fitbeta<-fitdistr(x1,"beta") Error in fitdistr(x1, "beta") : 'start' must be a named list Yes, I do understand that sometime for the distribution to converge to the given set of data, it requires initial parameters of the distribution, to

Hi all, I'm using the function "fitdistr" (library MASS) to fit a distribution to given data. What I have to do further, is getting the log-Likelihood-Value from this estimation. Is there any simple possibility to realize it? Regards, Carsten

Hi, I want to estimate parameters of weibull distribution. For this, I am using fitdistr() function in MASS package.But when I give fitdistr(c,"weibull") I get a Error as follows:- Error in optim(x = c(4L, 41L, 20L, 6L, 12L, 6L, 7L, 13L, 2L, 8L, 22L, : non-finite value supplied by optim Any help or suggestions are most welcomed -- View this message in context:

Hi, I'm trying fitdistr but I'm getting some errors > fitdistr(rnorm(100),"Normal") Error in fitdistr(rnorm(100), "Normal") : 'start' must be a named list > fitdistr(rnorm(100),"Normal",start=list(mean=0,sd=1)) Error in fitdistr(rnorm(100), "Normal", start = list(mean = 0, sd = 1)) : supplying pars for the Normal is not

Hello! I would like to get MLE for parameter lambda of Poisson distribution. I can use fitdistr() for this. After looking a bit into the code of this function I can see that value for lambda and its standard error is estimated via estimate <- mean(x) sds <- sqrt(estimate/n) Is this MLE? With my poor math/stat knowledge I thought that MLE for Poisson parameter is (in mixture of LaTeX

Dear developers, There's a small bug in print.fitdistr that can cause output to be printed twice, but only if print is called explicitly: > fit<-fitdistr(rt(1000,3),"t") There were 11 warnings (use warnings() to see them) > fit m s df -0.02181723 1.00145296 3.13723878 ( 0.03865057) ( 0.03999447) ( 0.33298377) > print(fit)

Hello, I am a new user of R and found the function dtnorm() in the package msm. My problem now is, that it is not possible for me to get the mean and sd out of a sample when I want a left-truncated normal distribution starting at "0". fitdistr(x,dtnorm, start=list(mean=0, sd=1)) returns the error message "Fehler in "[<-"(`*tmp*`, x >= lower & x <= upper,

I am trying to fit the chi-squared distribution to a set of data using the fitdistr function found in the MASS4 library, the data set is called ONES3, I have loaded it using the command ONES3<-read.table("ONES3.pdf",header=TRUE,na="NA") I print out the dataset ONES3 to the screen to make sure it has loaded Then I try to fit this data using the command

I am trying to extract the shape and scale parameters of a wind speed distribution for different sites. I can do this in a clunky way, but I was hoping to find a way using data.table or plyr. However, when I try I am met with the following: set.seed(144) weib.dist<-rweibull(10000,shape=3,scale=8) weib.test<-data.table(cbind(1:10,weib.dist))

Hello R-Users, I'm new to R so I apologize in advance for any big mistake I might be doing. I'm trying to fit a set of samples with some probabilistic curve, and I have an important question to ask; in particular I have some data, from which I calculate manually the CDF, and then I import them into R and try to fit: I have the x values (my original samples) and the y values

Dear All; I tried to use fitdistr() in the MASS library to fit a mixture distribution of the 3-parameter Weibull, but the optimization failed. Looking at the source code, it seems to indicate the error occurs at if (res$convergence > 0) stop("optimization failed"). The procedures I tested are as following: >w3den <- function(x, a,b,c)
