I really need to calculate some cumulative probability of the chi2 (degree of freedom 1000)distribution. I know there is this function chi2cdf(x,n) in the corresponding statistics Toolbox in Matlab. However I don't have this specific Toolbox, can anyone help me with that??
It would be great if you can help me with that! Thanks !!
You can look at this submission from the File Exchange which seems to do what you are looking for.

I am trying to fit a custom distribution to a large (~O(500,000) measurements) dataset using scipy. I have derived a theoretical PDF based on some other factors, but both by hand and using symbolic integration software I cannot find an exact form of the CDF.
Currently, simply evaluating 1000 random samples from my custom distribution is expensive, which I believe is due to the need to invert an unknown CDF. If I cannot find an explicit form of the CDF and it's inverse, is there anything else I can do to speed up usage of this distribution?
I've used maple, matlab and Sympy to try and determine a CDF, yet none give a result. I also tried down-sampling my data whilst still retaining the tail attributes, but this still required so much data that doing anything with the distribution was slow.
My distribution is a sub-class of SciPy's rv_continuous class.
Thanks for any advice.
This sounds like you want to sample from a Kernel Density Estimation of the probability distribution. While Scipy does offer a Gaussian Kernel package, for that many measurements you would be much better off using sklearn's implementation. A good resource with code examples can be found on Jake VanderPlas's blog.
i'm new here and i am super desperate so i really hope anyone of you can help me....
i have a sample of random data x_1....x_n and i want to fit a truncated pareto distribution to the data.... to fit a generalized pareto distribution is super easy and i have already done that. I calculated the shape and scale parameters with a matlab routine.
But for the truncated pareto distribution i can't seem to find a routine to calculate the parameters i need...
Does anybody have an idea how to do it?
Thanks in advance!
You can use Markov-Chain-Monte-Carlo simulations to do Bayesian Inference to get the most likely parameters of your generalized pareto distribution for the given data. Or you stay with the maximum likelihood method. Your problem can be solved in many ways. But if you want to apply MLE you actually just need to search for a maximum. You could do it with fminsearch()
http://de.mathworks.com/help/optim/ug/fminsearch.html
For this you just need to define another function in a separate m-file which computes your Likelihood or Log-Likehood for a given set of parameters of your truncated pareto distribution. fminsearch now returns you the optimal parameters according to this likelihood. Is this the kind of routine you are looking for?
I can't seem to find the answer to my question in SimBiology's documentation.
Does anyone know how Matlab calculates the non-compartmental AUC? Does it use the linear / log-linear trapezoidal rule? How many points does it use to extrapolate the curve to infinity? Does it use log or linear extension?
Many thanks!
I know it may be a basic question but I am having trouble with the limits when applying the fft function in Matlab.
I have a time series from this specifications:
bdf=0.005;
fHighCut=0.2;
maxTime=600;
freq=1/maxTime:df:fHighCut;
w=2*pi*freq;
time=linspace(0,600,length(freq)*10);
My time series lloks like:
The length of it is 400s. I want to create the PSD from it but it appears that I am obtaining the symetric as well like:
with this commands:
timestepFFT=1/time(end);
freqFFT=(1:length(time))*1/time(end);
amplitudeEtaSeries=abs(fft(etaSeries)/length(time));
powerSpectrumEtaSeries=amplitudeEtaSeries.^2/timestepFFT;
powerSpectrumEtaSeries(1)=0;
Can you please help me? THanks
Please read this article. power spectral density calculation by using fft always produce the symmetric PSD. So ignore second half of fft output and details can be found here:

I am trying to learn the kernel density estimation from the basic. Anyone have the simple routine for 1d KDE would be great helpful. Thanks.
If you have the statistics toolbox in MATLAB, you can use the ksdensity to estimate pdf/cdf using kernel smoothing. Here's an example
data=[randn(2000,1);4+randn(2000,1)];%# create a bimodal Gaussian distribution
x=linspace(-4,8,1e4);%# need to evaluate density at these points
pF=ksdensity(data,x,'function','pdf');%# evaluate the pdf of the data points
If you plot it, it should look like this
You can also get the cumulative distribution or the inverse cumulative or change the kernel that is used. You can look up the list of options from the link provided. This should help you get started :)
