Thanks, your advice worked. I don't have much experience with maths, and
therefore tried to stay away from dealing with optimization, but going
down to this level opens a lot of possibilities. For the record, the
code I used, as you suggested:
###
shape - mean(data)^2/var(data)
scale
Thanks for the help, the wrapper function was very useful. I managed to
solve the problem using Spencer Graves' suggestion. I am analyzing the
interarrival times between HTTP packets on a campus network. The dataset
actually has more than 14 Million entries! It represents the traffic
generated by
obtained during
maximum likelihood computations are NaN. I cannot however print values
of the objective function, as in my case it is dgamma which is called by
fitdistr, over which I don't have control.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
