Overview

About

Maintained by Markus BoennFirst published 2017-12-112 releasesCRAN page ↗

Systematic fit of hundreds of theoretical univariate distributions to empirical data via maximum likelihood estimation. Fits are reported and summarized by a data.frame, a csv file or a 'shiny' app (here with additional features like visual representation of fits). All output formats provide assessment of goodness-of-fit by the following methods: Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Shapiro-Wilks test, Anderson-Darling test.
