Background
-
For the parametric approach, The distfit library can determine the best fit across 89 theoretical distributions. To score the fit, one of the scoring statistics for the good-of-fitness test can be used used, such as RSS/SSE, Wasserstein, Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS), or Energy. After finding the best-fitted theoretical distribution, the loc, scale, and arg parameters are returned, such as mean and standard deviation for normal distribution.
-
For the non-parametric approach, the distfit library contains two methods, the quantile and percentile method. Both methods assume that the data does not follow a specific probability distribution. In the case of the quantile method, the quantiles of the data are modeled whereas for the percentile method, the percentiles are modeled.
-
In case the dataset contains discrete values, the distift library contains the option for discrete fitting. The best fit is then derived using the binomial distribution.

Example: Plot summary of the tested distributions
After we have a fitted model, we can make some predictions using the theoretical distributions. After making some predictions, we can plot again but now the predictions are automatically included.
Example: Make predictions using the fitted distribution
Example: Test for one specific distributions
The full list of distributions is listed here: https://erdogant.github.io/distfit/pages/html/Parametric.html
Example: Test for multiple distributions
The full list of distributions is listed here: https://erdogant.github.io/distfit/pages/html/Parametric.html
Example: Fit discrete distribution
from scipy.stats import binom
# Generate random numbers
# Set parameters for the test-case
n = 8
p = 0.5
# Generate 10000 samples of the distribution of (n, p)
X = binom(n, p).rvs(10000)
print(X)
# [5 1 4 5 5 6 2 4 6 5 4 4 4 7 3 4 4 2 3 3 4 4 5 1 3 2 7 4 5 2 3 4 3 3 2 3 5

# Import distfit
from distfit import distfit
# Initialize for discrete distribution fitting
dfit = distfit(method='discrete')
# Run distfit to and determine whether we can find the parameters from the data.
