[R] Fitdistrplus and Custom Probability Density

[Lorenzo Isella]

Dear All,
Apologies for not providing a reproducible example, but if I could, then I
would be able to answer myself my question.
Essentially, I am trying to fit a very complicated custom probability
distribution to some data.
Fitdistrplus does in principle everything which I need, but if require me
to specify not only the density function d, but also the cumulative p and
and inverse cumulative function q (see for instance

http://www.stat.umn.edu/geyer/old/5101/rlook.html

to understand what these quantities are in the case of a normal
distribution).

The analytical calculation of p and q is a big task in my case, so my
question is if there is a workaround for this, i.e. a way to fit the
unknown parameters of my probability distribution without specifying (at
least analytically) p and q, but only the density d.
Many thanks

Lorenzo
