[R] Help with Beta Distribution

[Tharacad.Ramanarayanan@aventis.com]

First let me confess that I am a R-novice.

I am trying to fit a beta distribution for a dataset using fitdistr(MASS). I
am having difficulties with it because the function tends to fit a
distribution with a range of 0 to 1 (I guess). However, my dataset is not!

Anytips or tricks will be very much appreciated.

Many Thanks.
