fit_distr {amt}

Fit distribution to data

Description

Wrapper to fit a distribution to data. Currently implemented distributions are the exponential distribution (exp), the gamma distribution (gamma) and the von Mises distribution (vonmises).

Usage

fit_distr(x, dist_name, na.rm = TRUE)

Arguments

x

⁠[numeric(>1)]⁠
The observed data.

dist_name

⁠[character(1)]{"exp", "gamma", "unif", "vonmises"}⁠
The name of the distribution.

na.rm

⁠[logical(1)=TRUE]⁠
Indicating whether NA should be removed before fitting the distribution.

Value

An amt_distr object, which consists of a list with the name of the distribution and its parameters (saved in params).

Examples

set.seed(123)
dat <- rexp(1e3, 2)
fit_distr(dat, "exp")
