1 | Distribution Details: Ensure that you are viewing the right distribution here. It contains the name of the distribution and the distribution parameters. |
2 | Help Button: Open the help file for this topic. |
3 | X Axis Values: Specify the X Left and/or X Right values. These values will be updated on the chart and all data points that fall to the left to the X Left value and to the right of the X Right value will be highlighted in red and the corresponding values willbe shown both on the chart and on the Probability Values textboxes. |
4 | Probability Values: Specify the P Left, P Middle, and/or P Right values. The software will determine the corresponding X Left and X Right values based on this data and all data points that fall to the left to the X Left value and to the right of the X Right value will be highlighted in red. |
5 | Fit Percent: Shows the value of the percentage of the graph that falls in each region. |
6 | Basic Statistics: Shows the basic descriptive statistics for the selected distribution. |
7 | PDF: Shows the probability density function for the given distribution. |
8 | OK Button: Click on the OK or Cancel Button to close this dialog box. No changes made in the dialog box are saved and no charts on the worksheet are updated from the real-time viewer. |
1 | Title: The system will automatically pick a title for your chart. However, if you would like to override that with your own title you can specify a title for your chart here. Note that this input is optional. |
2 | Sub Title: The system will automatically pick a subtitle for your chart. However, if you would like to override that with your own subtitle you can specify a subtitle for your chart here. Note that this input is optional. |
3 | X Label: The system will automatically pick a label for the x-axis. However, if you would like to override that with your own label for the x-axis you can specify a different label here. Note that this input is optional. |
4 | Y Label: The system will automatically pick a label for the y-axis. However, if you would like to override that with your own label for the y-axis you can specify a different label here. Note that this input is optional. |
5 | X Axis: The system will automatically pick a scale for the x-axis. However, if you would like to override that with your values for the x-axis, you can specify them here. The format for this input is to specify the minimum, increment, and maximum values separated by a semi-colon. For example, if you specify 10;20 then the minimum x-axis scale is set at 10 and the maximum x-axis scale is set at 20. If you specify 10;2;20, then, in addition to minimum and maximum values, the x-axis increment is set at 2. Note that this input is optional. |
6 | Y Axis: The system will automatically pick a scale for the y-axis. However, if you would like to override that with your values for the y-axis, you can specify them here. The format for this input is to specify the minimum, increment, and maximum values separated by a semi-colon. For example, if you specify 10;20 then the minimum y-axis scale is set at 10 and the maximum y-axis scale is set at 20. If you specify 10;2;20, then, in addition to minimum and maximum values, the y-axis increment is set at 2. Note that this input is optional. |
7 | Horizontal Lines: If you want to add a few extra horizontal reference lines on top of your chart you can specify the values here. The format for this input is numeric values separated by semi-colon. For example, if you specify 12;15 then two horizontal lines are plotted at Y = 12 and Y = 15 respectively. Note that this input is optional. |
8 | Vertical Lines: If you want to add a few extra vertical reference lines on top of your chart you can specify the values here. The format for this input is numeric values separated by semi-colon. For example, if you specify 2;5 then two vertical lines are plotted at X = 2 and X = 5 respectively. Note that this input is optional. |
