The warning message tells you to use "Brent" rather than the default Nelder-Mead. So do that. ## ?optim est.chi[i,]<-c( fitdistr(as.numeric(data2[,i]), densfun="chi-squared", start=list(df=1), method="Brent")$estimate) Regards, Mark. ----- Mark Difford (Ph.D.) Research Associate Botany Department Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University Port Elizabeth, South Africa -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/error-in-fitdistr-tp4413293p4413459.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
