fit_dist_start function

Find starting values for distribution parameters

## S3 method for class 'MixtureDistribution'
fit_dist_start(dist, obs, dists_start = NULL, ...)

fit_dist_start(dist, obs, ...)

Arguments

• dist: A Distribution object.
• obs: Observations to fit to.
• dists_start: List of initial parameters for all component distributions. If left empty, initialisation will be automatically performed using fit_dist_start() with all observations in the support of each respective component.
• ...: Additional arguments for the initialisation procedure

Returns

A list of initial parameters suitable for passing to fit_dist().

Examples

fit_dist_start(dist_exponential(), rexp(100))
