Fitting a curve and finding knee for a HISTOGRAM
I have a decreasing histogram which shows the counts of a metric starting from 1 with a very high peak there and decreasing constantly till zero at around 15. I want to find the "knee"/"elbow" to the curve of this decrease, but most answers here are for scatter plots. I know I can hackingly turn my histogram to a scatter plot, but more neatly, how can I fit a curve to a histogram and find parameters related to that curve? Thanks.
I work with pandas and I mainly plot with plotly.

...and actually some code of yours showing what you have done up to now would be cool...with respect to the "how to ask"

I'm not even sure what to share because I havent done anything as far as fitting goes. I'm asking HOW to do it because I have no idea. In regards to the first comment, the raw data is confidential. I can share the histogram but its basically a concave decreasing histogram plot, so pick your generic one.... I just wanna know how one can fit a curve to a given histogram
