Re: Gamma and Exponential fit for same data

I have curve fitting tool box and statistics toolbox also.
I am trying to fit an exponential ditribution and gamma distribution
for the same data in one figure.

The former(exp) I am able to do in cf tool box. Now I want to fit
gamma dist. for the same data. Any ideas are appreciated

Lakshmi, I think you want to take a look at the demo entitled "Curve Fitting and Distribution Fitting" on this page

<<http://www.mathworks.com/products/statistics/demos.html>>

If what you really mean is, "fit a curve that has the shape of a gamma density", then you can do that by defining a custom equation in CFTOOL, or with NLINFIT.
