<p>We received a flag stating that <a href="https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/329268/obtaining-distribution-of-numbers#question">this question</a> should be migrated here. It is of the form: "given a data set, I want to find a distribution that does blah". For future reference: are these types of questions on-topic here? Or should I just decline the migration request?</p>
