Fit a normal distribution

In this example we are going to estimate the parameters of a gaussian distribution from a sample.

from __future__ import print_function
import openturns as ot
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Create data
sample = ot.Normal().getSample(50)

# Estimate a normal distribution
distribution = ot.NormalFactory().build(sample)
print(distribution)

Normal(mu = 0.0353171, sigma = 0.968336)

# Draw fitted distribution
distribution.drawPDF()
