[R] maximum likelihood example?

[Jeff D. Hamann]

I'm trying to get a grasp of maximum-likelihood estimation and would like to
find a package that performs mle (hopefully a simple example). It seems as
if there are plenty of packages that make use of different types of
likelihood estimators, but none are of a simple, "newbie" type. Does anyone
have a suggestion for which package would be the best for a mle example?

Thanks,
Jeff.
