It seems like Fitter try many models in Scipy to fit my data and it takes too long. Is there a better using of Fitter to finish the job?

Specify a few distributions that you think might be relevant?
Or take a subset of your data if it is large?
Also, thanks very much for the package, very useful!

Indeed, the simplest is to down sample your data. Fitting is quite robust and 10,000 data points even a thousand are usually enough to get a good feeling of which distributions is the best one. I am currently updating the documentation, which should include a FAQs with this question/solution. thanks for using fitter.
