Thank you,man. the problem solved. Plus. when I got the parameters of the data. And I used the "truehist(mydata)" to get a histogram of the data, How can I draw a line of the distribution of the estimated parameters in the histogram plot?
for example: >fitdistr(na.exclude(mydata),"normal") mean sd 4.052594 75.620350 ( 1.420743) ( 1.004617) >truehist(mydata) After that, I got the histogram of mydata. And I want plot a extra line of the density of a normal distribution of mean=4.052594 and sd=75.620350 in the histogram plot? thank you Bernardo Rangel tura wrote: > > On Sat, 2010-01-02 at 23:20 -0800, Saji Ren wrote: >> Hi, R users: >> >> I want to fit my data into a normal distribution by using the command >> "fitdistr" in "MASS". >> I changed my data class from "ts" to "numeric" by >> >> >class(mydata)="numeric" >> >> but after using "fitdistr", I got the result below >> >> >fitdistr(mydata,"normal") >> mean sd >> NA NA >> (NA) (NA) >> >> the help doc of "fitdistr" does not mention anything about that, thus I >> need >> your help. >> >> Thank you in advanced, >> Saji from Shanghai > > Hi Sajj, > > You hava NA in your data > > try: fitdistr(na.exclude(mydata),"normal") > > -- > Bernardo Rangel Tura, M.D,MPH,Ph.D > National Institute of Cardiology > Brazil > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > > -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Help-with-function-fitdistr-in-MASS-tp997609p998258.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
