normal curve in histogram

Postby fransw4 » Thu Nov 10, 2011 8:15 am

hello,

I have plotted the histogram for data of an asset. I want to see if this is comparable with the normal distribution. However, I don't know how I insert the curve of the normal distribution in this histogram. I got hte histogram via describtive stats. Does anyone know how to do this in Eviews 7? Via the features list of this version it should be possible...

Open the Series, click on View->Graph, and choose "Distribution" as the graph type. Hit the Options button on the right hand side, then click Add, and choose "Theoretical Distribution", then hit OK.
