How do I plot two distributions on top of each other?

21 views (last 30 days)
I fit this histogram with the distribution fitter app. This fit is called the "t position scale" in practice. On top of this histogram, I want to plot a distribution with a mean of 0 and a variance of 1. I would be very grateful if you could help me figure out how to do this.

You can write the plot command with the two variables that you have.
plot(data,density,data,distribution)
You can change the type of line adding markers.
plot(data,density,'b--',data,distribution,'k:')
If you don't use any markars, matlab chages only the color the of line.

actually, secondly, my chart view does not match the normal distribution. I need to make the Y axes at the same time.

To plot an additional distribution on the same axes, use the hold function. For the distribution itself, use the pdf function with a vector of ‘x’ values to create the data to plot. Several distributions could be characterised by those parameters, so choose the one you want.

In fact, what I want to do here is to see how the fit I have drawn and the normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a variance of 1 will appear on top of each other. These two cannot be drawn together. I can't change the variance and the mean. Thank you for taking your time.

My pleasure!
To plot the requested distribution,. it will be necessary to use the first curve. The data and fitted distribution will then essentially be a thin vertical red line, however there is no way to avoid that if the objective is to plot both in a single axes object.
