[R] poisson fit for histogram

[Francisco J. Zagmutt]

I would first reccomend you to update your version of R.  Then download the 
libraries rmutil and gnlm from Jim Lindsey at 
http://www.luc.ac.be/~jlindsey/rcode.html decompress and store the files in 
your "library" folder.   Sorry but you will have to donwload a package 
unless you seriously want to re-invent the wheel.
Finally try
library(gnlm)
?fit.dist()

Cheers

Francisco
