python直方图拟合曲线,用python拟合直方图

I have a histogram

H=hist(my_data,bins=my_bin,histtype='step',color='r')

I can see that the shape is almost gaussian but I would like to fit this histogram with a gaussian function and print the value of the mean and sigma I get. Can you help me?

Here you have an example working on py2.6 and py3.2:

from scipy.stats import norm

import matplotlib.mlab as mlab

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# read data from a text file. One number per line

arch = "test/Log(2)_ACRatio.txt"

datos = []

for item in open(arch,'r'):

item = item.strip()

if item != '':

try:

datos.append(float(item))

except ValueError:

pass

# best fit of data

(mu, sigma) = norm.fit(datos)

# the histogram of the data

n, bins, patches = plt.hist(datos, 60, normed=1, facecolor='green', alpha=0.75)

# add a 'best fit' line

y = mlab.normpdf( bins, mu, sigma)

l = plt.plot(bins, y, 'r--', linewidth=2)

#plot

plt.xlabel('Smarts')

plt.ylabel('Probability')

plt.title(r'$\mathrm{Histogram\ of\ IQ:}\ \mu=%.3f,\ \sigma=%.3f$' %(mu, sigma))

plt.grid(True)

plt.show()
