function [pdffit,offset,A,B,resnorm,h] = distributionfit(data,distribution,nbins)
PURPOSE jdc rev. 06-jun-05
Fit one of three probability distributions (normal, lognormal, weibull) to input data vector. If the distribution is specified as 'best' the distribution that best fits the data is selected automatically.
INPUT
If nargin==1, "distribution" is prompted for and entered interactively
data - n x 1 or 1 x n input data vector
distribution - probability distribution to fit to "data". Can be 'normal', 'lognormal', 'weibull', or 'best' ... default: 'best'
nbins - number of bar-chart bins ......................... default: sqrt(length(data))
%OUTPUT
pdffit - fitted probability density function - n x 2 matrix with column 1 the x-values, column 2 the y values
offset - amount by which the data was offset for lognormal or weibull fits (to satisfy the positive-definite requirements for these distributions).
Note: this is roughly equivalent to fitting a 3- rather than a 2-parameter distribution.
A,B - distribution parameters - mu and sigma for normal and lognormal distributions, scale and shape parameters for weibull distribution
h - handles to the bar chart and probability density curve
TYPICAL FUNCTION CALLS
distributionfit(randn(10000,1));
distributionfit(wblrnd(2,3,10000,1));
distributionfit(wblrnd(2,3,10000,1),'weibull');
distributionfit(lognrnd(1.5,.5,10000,1),'lognormal');
distributionfit(lognrnd(1.5,.5,10000,1),'best');
distributionfit(lognrnd(1.5,.5,10000,1),'lognormal');
