I am trying to fit a set of data to a Weibull distribution. Because the implementation requires that I put the data in the range of 0 < x < 1 I have a "normailze" function: normalize <- function(x) { y <- (x-min(x)) / (max(x) - min(x)) y = y + 0.5 * (y == 0) -0.5 * (y == 1) retur

[R] Determining model parameters

2008-08-03 Thread rkevinburton
This may be a begining question. If so, please bear with me. If I have some data that based on the historgram and other plots it "looks" like a beta distribution. Is there a function or functions within R to help me determine the model parameters for such a distirbution? Similarily for other "
