fitdistr in MASS. It's about as basic as you can get: iid samples from standard distributions.

I'm trying to get a grasp of maximum-likelihood estimation and would like to find a package that performs mle (hopefully a simple example). It seems as if there are plenty of packages that make use of different types of likelihood estimators, but none are of a simple, "newbie" type. Does anyone have a suggestion for which package would be the best for a mle example? Thanks, Jeff.
