I tried it on your data and the lognormal seemed to fit well, apart from the outlier. I just followed the vignette that accompanies the package. library(fitdistplus) plotdist(NOEccu) # ecdf descdist(NOEccu, boot = 1000) # Cullen-Frey graph based on 1000 bootstrap samples # The Cullen-Frey graph suggests that the distribution is somewhere between a Gamma and lognormal # Weibull N1w <- fitdist(NOEccu, 'weibull') # Warning messages: # 1: In dweibull(x, shape, scale, log) : NaNs produced # 2: In dweibull(x, shape, scale, log) : NaNs produced plot(N1w) summary(N1w) # Gamma N1g <- fitdist(NOEccu, 'gamma') # Warning messages: # 1: In dgamma(x, shape, scale, log) : NaNs produced # 2: In dgamma(x, shape, scale, log) : NaNs produced # 3: In dgamma(x, shape, scale, log) : NaNs produced # 4: In dgamma(x, shape, scale, log) : NaNs produced plot(N1g) summary(N1g) # Lognormal N1l <- fitdist(NOEccu, 'lnorm') plot(N1l) summary(N1l) Try it out and see if it suits your needs.

I have plotted the ecdf as > plot(ecdf(x)) but I haven't managed to fit the distribution. I have as well attached the data. I would appreciate if you could help me on that. Thank you.
