I have a distribution (of a dependent variable) like below. I have five independent variables. I want to fit an equation using regression. Which regression model I should choose? Or how should I choose a regression model? enter image description here

  • This really isn't sufficient information to permit focused answers. "How to choose a regression model" is a huge subject that is too broad to be addressed here. The distribution of the dependent variable has little bearing on the choice of the model. Have you [searched our site for ideas](http://stats.stackexchange.com/search?q=choose+regression+model) yet? – whuber Dec 06 '15 at 15:22

There are parametric regression models that may fit. Elsewhere on this site is discussed ordinal regression, which is a semi-parametric model that has to fit the distribution of $Y$ for a given $X$ because it makes no distributional assumptions for any one set of $X$.

See for example Which model should I use to fit my data ? ordinal and non-ordinal, not normal and not homoscedastic
