work on fitting distributions. Actually sir I want to know that what 
package is use to find parameters of pareto distribution by maximum 
likelihood method. and i want to find these parameters from my 
calculated data. Sir I am waiting for your positive response.
Package actuar provides a density function that you can use with fitdistr 
from MASS.  E.g.
library(actuar)
x <- rpareto(1000, 2, 3)
library(MASS)
fitdistr(x, dpareto, list(shape=1, scale=1))
shape       scale
   1.7928750   2.4446281
  (0.1569442) (0.3108455)
Thanks
