Hey,
I have a set of income data which I'd like to fit to a gamma 
distribution. How can I estimate the two parameters of the gamma 
distribution for a vector, e.g.

c(2039L, 2088L, 5966L, 2353L, 1966L, 2312L, 3305L, 2013L, 3376L,
3363L, 3567L, 4798L, 2032L, 1699L, 3001L, 2329L, 3944L, 2568L,
1699L, 4545L)

I sense this will be a very easy one-liner, but my searching didn't come 
up with results yet.

Thanks in advance,
  Alex
