How to adapt this piece of code but for: - gamma distribution - 3 parameter log normal More specifically, where can I find the specification of the parameter (lmom) for pelgam() and pelln3()? Lmom package info just gives: pelgam(lmom), lelln3(lmom), where lmom is a numeric vector containing the L-moments of the distribution or of a data sample. # Draw an L-moment ratio diagram and add a line for

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))

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)

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'

Hey, I have a set of income data which I'd like to fit to a gamma distribution. How can I estimate the two parameters of the gamma distribution for a vector, e.g. c(2039L, 2088L, 5966L, 2353L, 1966L, 2312L, 3305L, 2013L, 3376L, 3363L, 3567L, 4798L, 2032L, 1699L, 3001L, 2329L, 3944L, 2568L, 1699L, 4545L) I sense this will be a very easy one-liner, but my searching didn't come up with

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

Dear R Users, I am trying to obtain a best-fit analytic distribution for a dataset with 11535459 entries. The data range in value from 1 to 300000000. I use: fitdistr(data, "gamma") to obtain mle's for the parameters. I get the following error: Error in optim(start, mylogfn, x = x, hessian = TRUE, ...) : non-finite finite-difference value [1] And the following warnings:

Hello, I have detailed (with pictures and whatnot) my question on my weblog at http://www.cs-ed.org/blogs/mjadud/archives/2005/05/a_question_abou.html The short version of the question is this: When I ask 'fitdistr' to try and fit my distribution as a "weibull" distribution, it comes up with some rather wacky parameters. If I take the same distribution, and do something

Dear R helpers,   I have a data of 2102 observations (consisting of 0's also), to which I am trying to fit Normal distribution using "lmom" pacakage. If I use Excel, its easy to estimate the parameters of Normal distribution as simple mean and standard devaition. The results I get if I use teh excel are as   Parameters of Normal distribution :-   Mean = 22986.44 and standard

Hello, I am using the lmomco package (lmom.ub and pargev) to compute the GEV parameters (location, scale, and shape), which are used to estimate return values. I was wondering how/if I can calculate upper and lower confidence (CI_u, CI_l) intervals for each return frequency using the GEV parameters to fill-in the table below? Xi (location) = 35.396 Alpha (scale) = 1.726 Kappa (shape) =

Dear All, I have two questions regarding distribution fitting. I have several datasets, all left-truncated at x=1, that I am attempting to fit distributions to (lognormal, weibull and exponential). I had been using fitdistr in the MASS package as follows: fitdistr<-(x,"weibull") However, this does not take into consideration the truncation at x=1. I read another posting in this
