Objective: To analyze the adjustments of the weibull, gamma, normal and logistic probability density distributions of the historical series of hospitalizations for respiratory diseases (childhood and adult pneumonia) from 2011 to 2015, in Campo Grande, MS. Methods: The shape and scale parameters of the distributions were determined to verify the quality of the data fit. Results: Four probability density functions (Table 2) were fitted and the R2, MAE, RSME, MAPE tests were used to verify the best density function for hospitalization data. Conclusion: The best fit was the Gamma distribution; the distribution can be used as an alternative distribution that adequately describes the data on hospital admissions for respiratory diseases in Campo Grande.
