How to find Goodness of test or best fit distribution in R or Python

[Phani Kumar 2]

I have one column-Reading and I want to find which distribution is best fit for that data.I want to find p-value for each distribution and determine which distribution(normal - pvalue >0.05,else which distribution fits-weibull,large extreme value,small extreme value,lognormal,logistic ) fits to that data.

Can anyone please help me on this.

There is currently no out-of-the-box functionality in Spotfire or data function available on the Exchange to provide this.

The following help topic for that package documents its function that performs Goodness-of-Fit tests:
