I am trying to fit a Weibull distribution in R using MME method and find the estimates. Below is the code used to fit the weibull distribution in R from the fitdistrplus and actuar package.
a <- rweibull(100, 10,1)
weibul_mme <- mmedist(a, "weibull", order = 1:2)
But I am getting the below error
Error in mmedist(a, "weibull", order = 1:2) :
the empirical moment function must be defined
It would be helpful if anyone can tell me what mistake I am making or provide some reading material for the same
R code below, Microsoft R Open 3.5.3 x64, Win 10
library(fitdistrplus)
library(actuar)
x <- rweibull(1000, 10,1)
memp <- function(x, order) mean(x^order)
weibul_mme <- mmedist(x, "weibull", order = 1:2, memp=memp)
fit.weibull<- fitdist(x, "weibull", method = "mme", order=c(1, 2), memp=memp, lower = c(0, 0))
print(weibul_mme)
print(fit.weibull)
plot(fit.weibull, demp=TRUE)
produced reasonable fit using MME method
