Hello Bert, Thank you for your comments. I want to actually fit a formal statistical distribution to my data using the classical methodologies (either Shapiro Wilk, Anderson Darling, Chi-Square, etc.). Once I have fitted a distribution then I will start generating random numbers and performing the

Just sample with replacement from your empirical distribution? See: ?sample ## note the "replace" argument Other than that, I do not understand what you mean by "distribution fitting analysis." Cheers, Bert On Mon, Aug 5, 2013 at 10:55 AM, Paul Bernal wrote: > Hello everyone, > > Basically, I

Hello everyone, Basically, I want to perform some distribution fitting analysis to a particular data that I have. So the data I will be working with is structured as follows: *Vessel Size* * Number of Vessels* *Frequency* 1000-2000 TEUS

Hello R-helpers, I have a lot of series of data and I want to obtain the best probability distributions (and the distribution to estimate parameters) of each serie. Besides this paper http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Ricci-distributions-en.pdf, do you know if there are other papers that expl

Dear R-help readers, I am writing to you in order to ask you a few questions about distribution fitting in R. I am trying to find out whether the set of event interarrival times that I am currently analyzing is distributed with a Gamma or General Pareto distribution. The event arrival granularity
