Hi, First: it's kind of hard to play along w/o some reproducible data. To that end, you can paste into an email the output of:
dput(moreinfo) If there are lots of rows in `moreinfo`, just give us the first ~10-20 dput(head(moreinfo, 20)) Anyway: <snip> > At this point, each row in m_id_default_res corresponds to one data.frame > produced by fitdist.

How about: ndf <- m_id_default[, c('mid, 'estimate', 'sd', 'loglik', 'aic', 'bic', 'chisq', 'chisqpvalue', 'chisqdf') Having just written that, I see something strange in your for loop. Specifically this line: > ndf$n[i] = m_id_default_res[i] m_id_default_res is a data.frame, right? Why don't you try to see what `m_id_default_res[1]` returns. I'm not sure that that's what your error message is coming from, but I foresee this to be a problem anyway, if I follow your "build up" code correctly.
