Hi David, you could see my contribute:
"Fitting distributions with R" http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Ricci-distributions-en.pdf Hoping it could be helpful. Regards, Vito You wrote: Hi there, I'm a newbie, plesae bear with me. I have a dataset with about 10000 ~ 30000 data points. Would like fit to both Gamma and Normal distribution to see which one fits better. How do I do this in R? Or I could do a normality test of the data, if it's normal, I then will do a normal fit, otherwise, a gamma fit. But again, I don't know how to do this either. Please help!
