Hello, I am based at STICERD at the London School of Economics and have been using R for about a year. At the moment I am working on programming an R algorithm for fitting a Pareto distribution robustly (this is a part of package to supplement a research paper on income distribution). It isn't going too well. I am aware that there are routines in R to fit GLM using robust methods, but I am not sure whether any work has been done in the direction of non-linear parametric distributions (such as gamma or Pareto).
I hope you hear from any of you soon and sorry for the trouble, Alex PS Some of you may be aware that there is some excellent work by A Marazzi, who programmed many such routines in FORTRAN about 15 years ago, which run on older R interfaces.
