[R] Fitting distribution with R: a contribute

[F Z]

Hi Vito

The document seems a systematic and organized primer on distribution fitting 
in R. Thanks for sharing it with the R community!.  Are you planning to make 
it available in English?  I would offer you help with the translation but I 
don't know enough italian to be useful for this task!

Regards

Francisco
