The corresponding probability density functions pdfs are typically exponentials, gaussians, or other. If you want to draw your gaussian fit over your data without the aid of the signal processing toolbox, the following code will draw such a plot with correct scaling. However, you can also fit a probability density function or cumulative distribution function on the binned data to get these values.
