How to get the probability density function of my data set - jpython - Dec-04-2019
Hi,
This is my first post here so please be kind to me
I have a data set that is a time-series of stock returns. I am able to plot the probability density function (PDF) using a library such as Matplotlib, however what I really want is the underlying function/formula.
Is this possible to get somehow? Surely the plot has used some kind of formula and I just want to see what that formula looks like.
Best regards,
jpython
