Polynomial Probability Distribution Estimation

Polynomial probability distribution estimation with the method-of-moments

polyd: A Matlab package for obtaining polynomial approximations of probability distributions. The package contains the following routines: polydfit (fitting polynomial to distribition), polydpdf (for generating polynomial pdf), polydcdp (for generating cdf), polydrnd (for generating random numbers from a polynomial distribution) and polystat (generating statistics from the polynomial distribution approximation). The package also includes an example script Examplepolyd, for the use of the routines. The package utilizes a method-of-moments approach.
