"# Distribution Selection\n",
"\n",
"In the following, we specify a list of candidate distributions. The function dist_select returns the negative log-likelihood of each distribution for the target variable. The distribution with the lowest negative log-likelihood is selected. The function also plots the density of the target variable and the fitted density, using the best suitable distribution among the specified ones. However, note that choosing the best performing mixture-distribution based solely on training data may lead to overfitting, since mixture-densities can approximate any distribution arbitrarily well. It is therefore crucial to carefully select the specifications to strike a balance between model complexity and generalization abilit.\n",
