Hi Robert,

Right. Its the relative frequency of the mode of the sample data. Its there
to get the curve scaled nicely.

I was curve fitting!; FIT with NonlinearLeastSquares in Matlab. I just was
looking for a function that fits the sample relative frequency histogram.

The reason I say its a nice fit is largely that it looks good visually (I
could
send an image), but theres also the RMS which is 0.0440 ... good enough when
youre desperate enough. I just need a pdf that looks similar to f1.

Thanks for your reply.
