Hello I need help.
We have a random variable and we start by getting the histogram of this random variable.
Can someone give me a code to extract from the histogram the distribution of this random variable?

Do you have the underlying data, or only the counts from each bin?
Were you hoping to find a particular functional form (e.g. a normal distribution), or is something purely empirical OK?
Depending on the answers to these questions, the ksdensity function might be useful (if you have the Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox).
