Usage

fit_distr(x, dist_name, na.rm = TRUE)

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.

Value

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

Examples
