Hi.I was using the last night the fitdistr package to start with some fitting. I have some data sets that even though have a very gaussian distribution it looks like that also it has some very heavy tails, that can not be accurately be modelled by a gaussian distribution.Where should I give a try with mixture of distribution? RegardsAlex

An overview of available distributions and corresponding fitting functions is in the "Distributions" task view. Finite mixture models and model-based clustering is discussed in the "Cluster" task view. See: http://CRAN.R-project.org/view=Distributions http://CRAN.R-project.org/view=Cluster
