[R] Assistant

[Jessica Streicher]

You're not giving people much to work with. I googled the error, and it seems to come from the call to optim and has likely to do with bad starting parameters.

That said, the documentation of fitdistr doesn't suggest it even supports "dbeta", there is only a "beta" mentioned.
