muchhistorical scholarshipwasof anarrative form and that the recent availability of mapping techniques allows the development of a geographic or spatial aspect to the discipline. The book comprises an introductory paper followed by nine essays which are presented either as a pure casestudy or as a methodological perspective on the topic. The five case-studies are concerned with mapping of ancie...

fitdistrplus: An R Package for Fitting Distributions

The package fitdistrplus provides functions for fitting univariate distributions to different types of data (continuous censored or non-censored data and discrete data) and allowing different estimation methods (maximum likelihood, moment matching, quantile matching and maximum goodness-of-fit estimation). Outputs of fitdist and fitdistcens functions are S3 objects, for which kind generic metho...

A continuous approximation fitting to the discrete distributions using ODE

The probability density functions fitting to the discrete probability functions has always been needed, and very important. This paper is fitting the continuous curves which are probability density functions to the binomial probability functions, negative binomial geometrics, poisson and hypergeometric. The main key in these fittings is the use of the derivative concept and common differential ...
