title: How to find a best fit distribution function for a list of data?
body: <p>I am aware of many probabilistic functions builted-in Python, with the <code>random</code> module.</p>
  <p>I'd like to know if, given a list of floats, it would be possible to find the distribution equation that best fits the list?</p>
  <p>I don't know if numpy does it, but this function could be compared (not equal, but similar) with the Excel's &quot;Trend&quot; function.</p>
  <p>How would I do that?</p>
