[R] fitting extreme value distribution

[Spencer Graves]

	  Which "rgev" are you using?  There are at least two in at least three 
different packages:  evd, evir, and fExtremes.  I found this by using 
'help.search("rgev")', which will however only identify related material 
I already have installed locally.  'RSiteSearch("rgev")' produced 22 
hits, the first of which was for the one in fExtremes.  The 
documentation for the one in fExtremes includes a reasonable plotting 
example.  Regarding fitting, have you considered fitdistr in 
library(MASS)?

	  Beyond this, may I suggest you PLEASE do read the posting guide! 
http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html.  It can increase the 
likelihood you will get a useful reply relatively quickly.
