HistFit with skewness and kurtosis

Hello

I have a distribution of data points which seems to look like an asymetric gaussian distribution. (Skewness > 0)

When I tried to use histfit, I would have expected it to find the correct values for Skewness and Kurtosis but it doesn't.

How can I have the same behavior as histfit, but taking into account that my data is asymetric ?

Thanks

Edit: the data : https://pastebin.com/n02NKdS2

What distributions are you giving histfit to use in fitting the data?

Answer 1

i tested with the "normale" parameter and withotu this parameter, same result

All normals have skewness=0, so histfit can't give you a normal that matches the skewness in your data. You'll have to try fitting some other distributions that do allow skewness. Looks like the Beta(5,13.5) would be about right.
