[python] Fitting empirical distribution to theoretical ones with Scipy (Python)?

Try the distfit library.

pip install distfit

# Create 1000 random integers, value between [0-50]
X = np.random.randint(0, 50,1000)

# Retrieve P-value for y
y = [0,10,45,55,100]

# From the distfit library import the class distfit
from distfit import distfit

# Initialize.
# Set any properties here, such as alpha.
# The smoothing can be of use when working with integers. Otherwise your histogram
# may be jumping up-and-down, and getting the correct fit may be harder.
dist = distfit(alpha=0.05, smooth=10)

# Search for best theoretical fit on your empirical data
dist.fit_transform(X)

print(best_distr)

# Ranking distributions
dist.summary

# Plot the summary of fitted distributions
dist.plot_summary()

enter image description here

# Make prediction on new datapoints based on the fit
dist.predict(y)

# Retrieve your pvalues with 
dist.y_pred
# array(['down', 'none', 'none', 'up', 'up'], dtype='<U4')
dist.y_proba
array([0.02040816, 0.02040816, 0.02040816, 0.        , 0.        ])

# Or in one dataframe
dist.df

# The plot function will now also include the predictions of y
dist.plot()

Best fit

Note that in this case, all points will be significant because of the uniform distribution. You can filter with the dist.y_pred if required.
