Here's the problem. Let's say you have a set of data and you want to characterize it in order to use it as the basis of a model. In order to do that, you really need to know the underlying PDF.
I assume you mean Probability Distribution Function, not Portable Document Format. That might not be clear to everyone, particularly on a list such as this one.
