Hello... I am trying to find a distribution that fits a certain histogram.. i.e. given a histogram, and a proposed distribution, i try to find how good does this distribution fits the histogram... a famous test for this is the chi square test... is it available already in mathematica? if so, how can i use it? if not, could you please give me some hints about implementing it? i need to... 1. initialize a list of a certain size to zeros. 2. Take the sum of all elements in a list. and of course there are other things, but that's what i can think of now... Many thanks in advance.. yours... msdawy ___________________________ take part in the challenge: http://www.geocities.com/msdawy
