Hi, try this: data = RandomVariate[NormalDistribution[], 1000]; hist = Histogram[data, "Wand", "PDF", Frame -> True]; dist = EstimatedDistribution[data, NormalDistribution[\[Mu], \[Sigma]]]; distPlot = Plot[PDF[dist, x], {x, -4, 4}, PlotStyle -> {Thick, Red}]; Show[{hist, unimodalDistPlot1}, Epilog -> Inset[ Panel@Column[{ Row[{Style["\[Mu] \[TildeTilde]", 12, Blue], Spacer[5], Style[NumberForm[dist[[1]], {4, 2}], 12, Blue] }], Row[{Style["\[Sigma] \[TildeTilde]", 12, Blue], Spacer[5], Style[NumberForm[dist[[2]], {4, 2}], 12, Blue] }], Row[{Style["Test: ", 10, Blue], Spacer[5], Style[NumberForm[DistributionFitTest[data, dist], {4, 3}], 12, Blue] }] }], Scaled[{0.15, 0.7}] ]] Fave fun, Alexei -----Original Message----- From: cubsfan334 [mailto:cubsfan334 at gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2011 7:55 AM To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg117814] [mg117695] [mg117655] Fit Gaussian function to histogram Hi, I realize that I can generate a histogram from a data set using the Histogram[{data},bin size] command, yet this only seems to create a graphic. Is there anyway to fit a function (preferably Gaussian) to the histogram Mathematica creates? Thanks! -- Alexei Boulbitch, Dr. habil. Senior Scientist Material Development IEE S.A.
