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.

Package actuar provides a density function that you can use with fitdistr from MASS. E.g.

library(actuar)
x <- rpareto(1000, 2, 3)
library(MASS)
fitdistr(x, dpareto, list(shape=1, scale=1))
     shape       scale
  1.7928750   2.4446281
 (0.1569442) (0.3108455)


Thanks
