Re: [R] Which distribution to select (massive fitting)

My mistake. I gave the right URL but referred to it as SO instead of CV. Gotta get my nomenclature right! Bert > On Feb 10, 2014, at 3:32 PM, David Winsemius wrote: > > >> On Feb 10, 2014, at 6:34 AM, Bert Gunter wrote: >> >> I believe this is more a question for SO (stats.stackexchange.com)

Re: [R] Which distribution to select (massive fitting)

I believe this is more a question for SO (stats.stackexchange.com). There are many possible goodness of fit statistics that can easily be calculated in R, but I think the fundamental question is: To what end? First, there are probably several parametric distributions that give (essentially) equall

[R] Which distribution to select (massive fitting)

Hi all, I have a large number of measurements from which I select a large number of unique vectors. For each vectors I would like to test which distribution might be a candidate for fitting. It is impossible to look on each vector separately but I can inside a for loop test different models and
