Custom probability distribution in disttool

Does anybody know if it's possible to import a custom probability distribution in the disttool app? I would want to quickly and easily visualize via the GUI how the Generalized Hyperbolic distribution behaves when changing its parameter values, but so far I haven't found a way (or even an answer to whether or not this is possible).

Please note I am not referring to the fitting of my custom distribution, but to its visualization through the disttool.

Many thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, using a custom distribution in disttool is not currently supported.

If I were you, I would

1. create my own GUI that suites the purpose.
2. use fplot to plot from the analytical expression of the distribution

For the item 1,

 edit disttool

to see the source code could be somewhat helpful.

Thank you for your quick reply! I actually figured out it wasn't (directly) possible after some extensive digging into the Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox User's Guide, but your suggestion is certainly a good starting point.

Good luck:)
