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 2013/8/5 Bert Gunter <gunter.ber...@gene.com> > Just sample with replacement from your empirical distribution?
