Probability distribution
显示 更早的评论
Hi there, I have a series of 1277 daily returns on a asset. I want to see what distribution these returns follow (Eg, Levy, Normal). Does anybody know how I can show which distribution it is??
I look forward to a reply.

If you have a univariate data then you can test it for normality using Anderson-Daarling test [1] or Kolmogorv-Smirnov test [2].
[1] http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/14807-andartest ... you will have to modify the code slightly to get the p-value
[2] implemented as 'kstest' function in Statistics Toolbox
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with other tests to see if the data was drawn from other types of distributions ...

There is no general mechanism, especially as some probability distributions are special cases of other distributions.
The situation is essentially the same as curve fitting: you can try a bunch of possibilities and find the one that gives the best fit, but that doesn't mean that you have *the* answer, just that you found the best out of what you tested.
To test any one distribution, see kstest2
