Dear all,

I have a set of data which seem to be distributed almost exponentially but
only on [0;1]. I guess that the probability distribution in this case
would look like

\frac{lambda}{1-e^{-\lambda}) e^{-\lambda x}

I would like to use fitdistr to estimate the value of \lambda.

1) Would it be correct first to find lambda for the exponential distribution and then to substitute it in the formula above?

2) I guess that it should somehow be possible to convince fitdistr to use the function above, but I have no clue how.

Thanks in advance,
Alexander
