Value

An amt_distr object, which consists of a list with the name of the distribution and its parameters (saved in params).

Arguments

x

[numeric(>1)]
The observed data.

dist_name

[character(1)]{"exp", "gamma", "unif", "vonmises"}
The name of the distribution.

na.rm

[logical(1)=TRUE]
Indicating whether NA should be removed before fitting the distribution.

Run this code
set.seed(123)
dat <- rexp(1e3, 2)
