Having acquired some evidence that I am not *totally* confused, let me suggest to Ms. Botto that she have a look at the FAdist package which appears to provide [dpqr]gumbel() with the usual sort of syntax. There is also an implementation of the Gumbel distribution in the VGAM package.

RSiteSearch("Gumbel") turns up lots of hits.

cheers,

Rolf Turner

Don't know if I understand your last comment but I surely don't think
that the Weibull and Gumbel distributions are the same. See their
density function on e.g. Wikipedia.

Then *why* did you answer Ms. Botto's question about the Gumbel
distribution with a pointer to the help on the *Weibull* distribution? I
was very puzzled by this and thought that I must be
missing/misunderstanding something.

cheers,

Thankyou very much Frede. It wasn't any home I am just trying to put my
grip on distribution. Believe it or not, I came to know for the first time that
weibull and gumbel distributions are same. :(

Is this a home work problem?

See

Weibull package:stats R Documentation

The Weibull Distribution

Description:

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random
generation for the Weibull distribution with parameters 'shape'
and 'scale'.

Usage:

dweibull(x, shape, scale = 1, log = FALSE)
pweibull(q, shape, scale = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qweibull(p, shape, scale = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rweibull(n, shape, scale = 1)

Dear useRs,
I need some examples of gumbel probability plots in R. i'll be extremely
grateful if you could share the codes of a working example.
