I'm writing a package (just for my own use, for the time being at least)
that contains a function for estimating the parameters of a distribution. The function is essentially a wrapper for fitdistr() from the MASS package.

When I looked at RShowDoc("KEYWORDS"), I could not find an appropriate keyword to use in the help file for this function. There's "htest & Statistical Inference", but that's not right, since this function is about estimation, not hypothesis testing. I'd hoped that there'd be a keyword "estimation" (or "point estimation") or something like that, but there isn't.

I guess I can use "utilities" (???) or "misc", but these seem a bit unsatisfactory.

Can anyone suggest a better idea?

cheers,

Rolf Turner
