This might be a weird question. I want to know why Matlab still run to produce estimated parameter whenever I input data which doesn't belong to the support of the distribution?

E.g.

I want to know the idea behind it.Thanks!!

    But Matlab gives you error messages indicating precisely that the input does not belong to the support... – Richard Hardy Feb 10 '16 at 15:20
  • Look at the second fit, Poissfit (0.5). The support for poisson distribution is integer which is greater or equal zero. – Aeroplane Feb 10 '16 at 15:22

    Perhaps there exists a generalized version of Poisson distribution the support of which includes 0.5? See this thread. Also, here is a relevant thread. Finally, there is some discussion here. – Richard Hardy Feb 10 '16 at 15:43
