Question
In the distribution fitter app there is an option to evaluate a fitted distribution for a range of values. I would like to know how to do this programmatically? I can use fitdist to fit the data easily but dont know how to evaluate the probability.

The fitdist function will fit a distribution to data, producing a probability distribution object:
pd = fitdist(x,distname)
You can then calculate the probabilities with it using the Plot Standard Normal Distribution cdf or Pl
ot the pdf of a Standard Normal Distribution functions:
data = 5 + 2*randn(1, 100); % Create Data pd = fitdist(data(:), 'Normal'); x = linspace(-2, 12); Npdf = pdf(pd, x); Ncdf = cdf(pd, x); figure plot(x, Npdf, x, Ncdf) grid
