| Mar 30, 2013 at 0:28 | comment | added | Glen_b | There are an infinite number of distributions which could reasonably produce these sample characteristics. Are your values limited or - at least effectively - unbounded; or perhaps bounded at one end)? Have you considered trying say a gamma distribution (possibly with a shift-parameter), which would let you fit that mild skewness? | |

The min and max will be more useful if you have the count of your data as well. Is that available? Is Xs the sample standard deviation?
