MATLAB: How to fit a (left) skewed distribution

functionplottingStatistics and Machine Learning Toolbox

Hi,

Currently, I am using the following code to fit distributions to my data:

pd = fitdist(mydata,distribution)
x_values = 1:1:26;
y = pdf(pd,x_values);
plot(x_values,y,'LineWidth',2)

However, as far as I can see all the distributions offered by Matlab are either not skewed or right-skewed. Hence my question: Knowing that my data is left-skewed, how could I fit such a distribution to it?

Thanks

Try fitting the max value minus your data. In other words, flip your distribution right to left.

MATLAB: Can anyone debug the following code

becuase two plots have different y-axis scale! you have to modify y-axis scale!

 %code
figure,hist(K);hold on;
pd= fitdist(K','Kernel');
x_values = -30:0.1:40;
y = pdf(pd,x_values);
plot(x_values,y*(max(hist(K))/max(y)),'r','LineWidth',2)

If you have the Signal Processing Toolbox, try spectrogram() or pwelch().

Otherwise, try fft().
