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)
