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
