Dear UseRs,
I have a dataset in the following form.
structure(c(0.0238095238095238, 0.0476190476190476, 0.0714285714285714, 0.0952380952380952, 0.119047619047619, 0.142857142857143, 0.166666666666667, 0.19047619047619, 0.214285714285714, 0.238095238095238, 0.261904761904762, 0.285714285714286, 0.30952380952381, 0.333333333333333, 0.357142857142857, 0.380952380952381, 0.404761904761905, 0.428571428571429, 0.452380952380952, 0.476190476190476, 0.5, 0.523809523809524, 0.547619047619048, 0.571428571428571, 0.595238095238095, 0.619047619047619, 0.642857142857143, 0.666666666666667, 0.69047619047619, 0.714285714285714, 0.738095238095238, 0.761904761904762, 0.785714285714286, 0.80952380952381, 0.833333333333333, 0.857142857142857, 0.880952380952381, 0.904761904761905, 0.928571428571429, 0.952380952380952, 0.976190476190476, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200, 210, 220, 230, 240, 250, 260, 270, 280, 290, 300, 310, 320, 330, 340, 350, 360, 370, 380, 390, 400, 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470, 480, 490, 500), .Dim = c(41L, 2L), .Dimnames = list(NULL, c("P", "RP")))

Column number 1 is the probability of non execeedance and column 2 is return period of the event. I plotted the dataset in the following way
I now want to fit gumbel distribution, LN3 and GEV distributions on the data and plot them on the same window to see which distribution actually fits good to the data. I know there are other ways of determining best fitted distribution in R but I just wanted to know that if I can actually plot it on actual distribution or not. I want it to try for my thesis.
Thankyou very much in advance
Eliza
