# Detecting the probability distribution in dataset

I have a dataset in a CSV file which is a single column of positive integers. I would like to know which probability distribution it fits.

The histogram is as follows.

This is how I am trying.

w = Transpose[Import["dataset.csv"]][[1]];
h = DistributionFitTest[w, SkewNormalDistribution[12, 7, 0.1], "HypothesisTestData"];
Show[Histogram[w, Automatic, "ProbabilityDensity"],
Plot[PDF[h["FittedDistribution"], x], {x, 0, 80},
PlotStyle -> Thick]]


The output is:

Can I claim that my dataset has a skewed normal distribution?

This question came from our site for users of Wolfram Mathematica.

• @MarcoB, I admit that I was confused where to post. How can I move it there? – Omar Shehab Apr 19 '16 at 16:16
• Perhaps you could ask for help from the moderators (flag your question as "in need of moderator intervention" and explain what you would like to do). Otherwise, since I see that you are already registered on Cross Validated, it may be simplest to copy and re-post there. – MarcoB Apr 19 '16 at 17:06
