Hello Bert,

Thank you for your comments. I want to actually fit a formal statistical
distribution to my data using the classical methodologies (either Shapiro
Wilk, Anderson Darling, Chi-Square, etc.). Once I have fitted a
distribution then I will start generating random numbers and performing the
Monte Carlo Simulation.

That is the reason why!!

Best regards,

Paul
