You should pay close attention to the definitions of the parameters passed to the various gamma functions. x <- rgamma(1000, 2, 2) library(mhsmm) qsh <- gammafit(x)$shape; qsc <- gammafit(x)$scale > qsh x x 2.009260 > qsc x x 0.4827448 On Sep 4, 2009, at 11:59 AM, Petar M

Thank you very much for the answer! However, instead of x being some uniform values, I have real values. Hence, if I have dat$V1 of my interest, formula should be like this: qqmath(~ V1, data=dat, distribution=function(V1) qgamma(V1, shape=gammafit(dat$V1)$shape, scale=gammafit(dat$V1)$scale)) I
