+### How can I select a subset of the fitted distributions?
+
+Use the `[` operator with the distribution names (or their positions) to get a `fitdists` object with just those distributions.
+
+```{r}
+library(ssdtools)
+
+dists <- ssd_fit_dists(ssddata::ccme_boron)
+names(dists)
+
+subset <- dists[c("gamma", "lnorm")]
+names(subset)
