Is there a library that will help me fit data easily? I found fitter and i will provide the code but it shows some errors - python-3.x

Question

So, here is my code:
import pandas as pd
import scipy.stats as st
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.ticker import AutoMinorLocator
from fitter import Fitter, get_common_distributions
df = pd.read_csv("project3.csv")
bins = [282.33, 594.33, 906.33, 1281.33, 15030.33, 1842.33, 2154.33, 2466.33, 2778.33, 3090.33, 3402.33]
#declaring
facecolor = '#EAEAEA'
color_bars = '#3475D0'
txt_color1 = '#252525'
txt_color2 = '#004C74'
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, figsize=(16, 6), facecolor=facecolor)
ax.set_facecolor(facecolor)
n, bins, patches = plt.hist(df.City1, color=color_bars, bins=10)
#grid
minor_locator = AutoMinorLocator(2)
plt.gca().xaxis.set_minor_locator(minor_locator)
plt.grid(which='minor', color=facecolor, lw = 0.5)
xticks = [(bins[idx+1] + value)/2 for idx, value in enumerate(bins[:-1])]
xticks_labels = [ "{:.0f}-{:.0f}".format(value, bins[idx+1]) for idx, value in enumerate(bins[:-1])]
plt.xticks(xticks, labels=xticks_labels, c=txt_color1, fontsize=13)
#beautify
ax.tick_params(axis='x', which='both',length=0)
plt.yticks([])
ax.spines['bottom'].set_visible(False)
ax.spines['left'].set_visible(False)
ax.spines['right'].set_visible(False)
ax.spines['top'].set_visible(False)
for idx, value in enumerate(n):
if value > 0:
plt.text(xticks[idx], value+5, int(value), ha='center', fontsize=16, c=txt_color1)
plt.title('Histogram of rainfall in City1\n', loc = 'right', fontsize = 20, c=txt_color1)
plt.xlabel('\nCentimeters of rainfall', c=txt_color2, fontsize=14)
plt.ylabel('Frequency of occurrence', c=txt_color2, fontsize=14)
plt.tight_layout()
#plt.savefig('City1_Raw.png', facecolor=facecolor)
plt.show()
city1 = df['City1'].values
f = Fitter(city1, distributions=get_common_distributions())
f.fit()
fig = f.plot_pdf(names=None, Nbest=4, lw=1, method='sumsquare_error')
plt.show()
print(f.get_best(method = 'sumsquare_error'))
The issue is with the plots it shows. The first histogram it generates is
Next I get another graph with best fitted distributions which is
Then an output statement
{'chi2': {'df': 10.692966790090342, 'loc': 16.690849400411103, 'scale': 118.71595997157786}}
Process finished with exit code 0
I have a couple of questions. Why is chi2, the best fitted distribution not plotted on the graph?
How do I plot these distributions on top of the histograms and not separately? The hist() function in fitter library can do that but there I don't get to control the bins and so I end up getting like 100 bins with some flat looking data.
How do I solve this issue? I need to plot the best fit curve on the histogram that looks like image1. Can I use any other module/package to get the work done in similar way? This uses least squares fit but I am OK with least likelihood or log likelihood too.

Answer 1

Simple way of plotting things on top of each other (using some properties of the Fitter class)
import scipy.stats as st
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from fitter import Fitter, get_common_distributions
from scipy import stats
numberofpoints=50000
df = stats.norm.rvs( loc=1090, scale=500, size=numberofpoints)
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, figsize=(16, 6))
n, bins, patches = ax.hist( df, bins=30, density=True)
f = Fitter(df, distributions=get_common_distributions())
f.fit()
errorlist = sorted(
[
[f._fitted_errors[dist], dist]
for dist in get_common_distributions()
]
)[:4]
for err, dist in errorlist:
ax.plot( f.x, f.fitted_pdf[dist] )
plt.show()
Using the histogram normalization, one would need to play with scaling to generalize again.
