Hi there,

I'm a newbie, plesae bear with me.
I have a dataset with about 10000 ~ 30000 data points.
Would like fit to
both Gamma and Normal distribution to see which one
fits better. How do I do
this in R? Or I could do a normality test of the data,
if it's normal, I
then will do a normal fit, otherwise, a gamma fit. But
again, I don't know
how to do this either.
Please help!

David

Top 10 reasons to become a Statistician

     1. Deviation is considered normal
     2. We feel complete and sufficient
     3. We are 'mean' lovers
     4. Statisticians do it discretely and continuously
     5. We are right 95% of the time
     6. We can legally comment on someone's posterior distribution
     7. We may not be normal, but we are transformable
     8. We never have to say we are certain
     9. We are honestly significantly different
    10. No one wants our jobs
