Hi,

How can I fit an function to data in mathematica? For example: in an
experiment I collect data with a normal distrubution. I want to fit a normal
curve to this data, with unknown mean and variance. Can I do this with the
mean-squares-method or do I need an iterative algorithm or something like
that?

Thanx,
Richard
