 Greetings.

 I have some frequency data that I need to fit into standard probability
 distribution like a lognormal, normal etc. The plots look like lognormal
in
 some case and normal in others. I may get some more data looking like some
 other distribution. Can anyone give me a pointer to some Java class
library
 that have classes to fit distributions? At least if I can get the
 appropriate algorithms, then I can try to implement the classes myself.

 Thanks.

Not everyone works at a location which is willing to pay SAS's exorbitant annual
fees, Veeral.  In that case, it is not "alot (sic) easier."

I note that in the literature cited, the word "nauseam" (in the Latin
phrase "ad nauseam") is misspelled both times it appears.
