[R] How to fit my data with a distribution?

[Carl Witthoft]

If you don't mind stepping outside R for a few minutes, there's a great 
heuristic fitting app available from
  http://http://creativemachines.cornell.edu/eureqa

Check it out.

That MASS::fitdistr is used for the case when I have some sense about 
the distribution of my data. When I do not know anything about my data, 
is there any function that can I use to tell what distribution of my 
data is?

Thanks a lot,
Andra
