Dear all,
I have a large dataset (156381 points) and I wish to fit a
distribution to the dataset. However I cannot seem to get Mathematica to
recognise the dataset. I imported the data as "testdata" then did
Mean[testdata]. Unfortunately this command just repeated the data and
failed to give me the mean value.
I repeated everything using another data format:
{0.217,0.434,0.652 etc...} with the same response.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Rees
