[R-pkg-devel] Appropriate keyword in help file.

[Rolf Turner]

I'm writing a package (just for my own use, for the time being at least)
that contains a function for estimating the parameters of a 
distribution.  The function is essentially a wrapper for fitdistr() from 
the MASS package.

When I looked at RShowDoc("KEYWORDS"), I could not find an appropriate 
keyword to use in the help file for this function.  There's "htest & 
Statistical Inference", but that's not right, since this function is 
about estimation, not hypothesis testing.  I'd hoped that there'd be a 
keyword "estimation" (or "point estimation") or something like that, but 
there isn't.

I guess I can use "utilities" (???) or "misc", but these seem a bit 
unsatisfactory.

Can anyone suggest a better idea?

cheers,

Rolf Turner
