I have some data and want to find the distribution that fits them well. I found one post inMATLAB and one post in r. This post talks about a method in Python. It is trying different distributions and see which one fits better. I was wondering if there is any direct way (like allfitdist() in MATLAB) in Python.

  • `It is trying different distributions and see which one fits better` What do you think `allfitdist` does internally? – Silvio Mayolo Jan 26 '18 at 02:42

    @SilvioMayolo, yes, I agree that `allfitdist` is trying different distribution. I was just wondering if there is any similar command in Python that take care of it directly. – Shannon Jan 26 '18 at 02:48

Fitter in python provides similar functionality. The code looks like:

from fitter import Fitter
f = Fitter(data)
f.fit()

For more information, please take a look at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fitter
