Yes, you can fit the exponential distribution to your data without using the `MASS` package. Here's an example of how to do it using the `stats` package:
```R
# Generate some example data
set.seed(123)
data <- rexp(100, rate = 0.5)
# Calculate the method of moments estimate
mu <- mean(data)
lambda_mom <- 1 / mu
print(paste0("Method of moments estimate: ", lambda_mom))
# Define the log-likelihood function for the exponential distribution
loglik <- function(params, x) {
-sum(dexp(x, rate = params[1], log = TRUE))
}
# Use maximum likelihood estimation to fit the distribution to the data
fit_mle <- optim(par = c(0.1), fn = loglik, x = data, method = "BFGS")
lambda_mle <- fit_mle$par
print(paste0("Maximum likelihood estimate: ", lambda_mle))
```
The code first generates some example data from an exponential distribution with a rate parameter of 0.5. It then calculates the method of moments estimate in the same way as before.
Next, the code defines a log-likelihood function for the exponential distribution. The `dexp` function calculates the probability density function of the exponential distribution, and we take the negative sum of the log of these probabilities to get the log-likelihood function.
Finally, we use the `optim` function to maximize the log-likelihood function and find the maximum likelihood estimate of the rate parameter. The `optim` function takes four arguments: `par` is a vector of starting values for the optimization, `fn` is the function to be optimized (in this case, the log-likelihood function), `x` is the data, and `method` specifies the optimization algorithm to use (in this case, the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno algorithm). The resulting output gives us the maximum likelihood estimate of the rate parameter.
