我正在尝试将截断的正态分布拟合到某些数据。但是，我遇到了以下错误：

<simpleError in optim(par = vstart, fn = fnobj, fix.arg = fix.arg, obs = data,     gr = gradient, ddistnam = ddistname, hessian = TRUE, method = meth,     lower = lower, upper = upper, ...): non-finite finite-difference value [1]>
Error in fitdist(testData, "truncnorm", start = list(a = 0, mean = 0.8,  : 
  the function mle failed to estimate the parameters, 
                with the error code 100

我不确定出了什么问题 - 我已经读过，在某些情况下，如果初始猜测错误或高于实际值，可能会出现拟合问题，但我尝试了许多不同的起始值，但似乎都没有工作。

这是我的数据的一个小样本，以及我用来获取错误的代码：

library(fitdistrplus)
library(truncnorm)
testData <- c(3.2725167726, 0.1501345235, 1.5784128343, 1.218953218, 1.1895520932,

fitdist(testData, "truncnorm", start = list(a = 0, mean = 0.8, sd = 0.9))

问题是 mle 估计器为参数提供了越来越多的负估计，mean因为下限a趋于零（请注意，后者不能在start参数内指定，而应在 内fix.arg）：

fitdist(testData, "truncnorm", fix.arg=list(a=-.5),
        start = list(mean = mean(testData), sd = sd(testData)))
fitdist(testData, "truncnorm", fix.arg=list(a=-.2),
        start = list(mean = mean(testData), sd = sd(testData)))
fitdist(testData, "truncnorm", fix.arg=list(a=-.15),
        start = list(mean = mean(testData), sd = sd(testData)))

防止大的负值的一种可能性mean是使用下限进行优化：

fitdist(testData, "truncnorm", fix.arg=list(a=0),
        start = list(mean = mean(testData), sd = sd(testData)),
        optim.method="L-BFGS-B", lower=c(0, 0))

然而，这改变了估计程序；实际上，您正在对参数施加额外的约束，并且可能会以不同的下限获得不同的答案。
