I am trying to fit gamma and exponential distributions using fitdist function in the "fitdistrplus" package to the data I have and obtain the parameters along with the AIC values of the fit. However, I am getting errors with both distributions. I have given an reproducible example with the errors I am getting below. Can someone please let me know how to overcome this issue???
