I am very new user of R project. Sir I am a research scholar. I am doing work on fitting distributions. Actually sir I want to know that what package is use to find parameters of pareto distribution by maximum likelihood method. and i want to find these parameters from my calculated data. Sir I am waiting for your positive response. Thanks

fitting distributions using fitdistr (MASS)
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

MASS fitdistr()
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") :

Is possible, on biological grounds, suggest to fitdistr (MASS library) that the estimated parameters must be between two values?
Sorry if it is a silly question, I haven't found documentation on this and I don't know if it is possible. library(MASS) ## for fitdistr library(msm) ## for dtnorm #prepare truncated normal distribution dtnorm0 <- function(x, mean, sd , log = FALSE) { dtnorm(x, mean, sd, 105, 135, log) } set.seed(1) #Generate normal distribution with the TRUE population mean (day 106 of the

MASS fitdistr with plyr or data.table?
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))

named list 'start' in fitdistr
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'

Problems with fitdistr
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:

Optimization failed in fitting mixture 3-parameter Weibull distri bution using fitdistr()
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)

Warnings in fitdistr() from MASS.
For a lark, I experimented a bit with the data from Ted Byers' recent postings. The result of fitdistr() seemed sensible, but I was bothered by the warnings about NaNs that arose. Warnings always make me nervous. Explicitly this is what I did: TXT <- "0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Re lative novice: Working with fitdistr(MASS): 3 questions
OK, I am now at the point where I can use fitdistr to obtain a fit of one of the standard distributions to mydata. It is quite remarkable how different the parameters are for different samples through from the same system. Clearly the system itself is not stationary. Anyway, question 1: I require a visual perspective of the fit I get. I can use hist.scott to get a hisogram (and just have to

Fitdistr() versus nls()
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
