norm_fit {StockDistFit}

Fit Normal Distribution to a Vector/stock prices.

Description

This function takes a numeric vector and fits a normal distribution to it using the fitdist function from the fitdistrplus package. It returns a list with the mean and standard deviation parameters of the fitted normal distribution, as well as the AIC and BIC values of the fitted distribution.

Usage

norm_fit(vec)

Arguments

vec

a numeric vector to be fitted with a normal distribution.

Value

A list with the following components:

par

a numeric vector with the estimated mean and standard deviation parameters of the fitted normal distribution.

aic

a numeric value representing the Akaike information criterion (AIC) of the fitted distribution.

bic

a numeric value representing the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) of the fitted distribution.
