Find starting values for distribution parameters

Usage

# S3 method for 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

Value

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

Examples

fit_dist_start(dist_exponential(), rexp(100))
#> $rate
#> [1] 1.258531
