How would you model this function /sci/?
f(0)=0
f(100)=0
f(10)=1250
I'm trying to find an answer but I have no idea how to model this function.

looks kinda like
f(x) = Ax e^(-Bx)
screw around with different values of A and B until it looks about right
>>

probably a gamma distribution

You have three points; you can fit them to a degree-2 polynomial.

Your points are as follows:
(0,0)
(10,1250)
(100,0)

Explicitly, you can just model your desired polynomial in a linear form to obtain a closed form:

f(x) = a + bx + cx^2

With your three points, this yields

0 = a + 0 + 0
1250 = a + 10b + 100c
0 = a + 100b + 10000c

Which is a fully determined linear system. Solve for a,b,c and c, plug them in as your constants in f(x), and have fun with whatever you're doing.

You can also iteratively improve your fit by sampling more points from the curve in your image and increasing the degree of your polynomial.

It actually appears to be a log normal distribution.
Now I only need to find the parameters, I can't find the way to find the maximum given the two parameters (density and average).

>>9081576
I will try that, thanks.
>>
>>9081556
Sample more, and see if it fits a chi square distribution.
>>
>>9081580
You mean MLE?
>>
>>9081576
Sorry, no, this doesn't work. (10,1250) is supposed to be the maximum, but this goes way beyond that. Sure I could do a Taylor but fuck that shit, I want to find what this distribution is without having to use such dirty tricks.

>>9081592
Doesn't look like chi square, but more like log normal.

>>9081600
No idea

>>
>>9081606
I mean, if you want a quick and dirty method, you could just unlog it, then it's easy because it should be a normal distribution.

But statisticians would wag their fingers.

>>9081556
It looks like the absolute value of a potential function.
