Workspace Node: Fit Distributions - Specifications - Continuous Variables Tab

In the Fit Distributions node dialog box, under the Specifications heading, select the Continuous variables tab to access the following options.

Element Name Description
<< Prev./Next >>. When more than one continuous variable is selected for the analysis, you can switch between them via the << Prev. and Next >> buttons (or use the adjacent drop-down menu). The specifications for each variable are unique, i.e., all selected distributions only apply to the current variable, and different variables can have different specifications.
Distribution Select one or more continuous distributions to fit to your selected continuous variables.
Normal Select this check box to fit the Normal distribution to the currently selected variable.
Log-Normal Select this check box to fit the Log-Normal distribution to the currently selected variable.
Folded normal Select this check box to fit the Folded normal distribution to the currently selected variable.
Half normal Select this check box to fit the Half normal distribution to the currently selected variable.
Rayleigh Select this check box to fit the Rayleigh normal distribution to the currently selected variable.
Weibull Select this check box to fit the Weibull distribution to the currently selected variable.
Gaussian mixture Select this check box to fit the Gaussian Mixture distribution to the currently selected variable.
Johnson distribution (general non-normal single mode) Select this check box to fit the Johnson distribution (general non-normal single mode) distribution to the currently selected variable.
Generalized Extreme Value Select this check box to fit the Generalized Extreme Value distribution to the currently selected variable.
Generalized Pareto Select this check box to fit the Generalized Pareto distribution to the currently selected variable.
Triangular Select this check box to fit the Triangular distribution to the currently selected variable.
Offset (threshold/location) Some distributions have particular valid value ranges (e.g., for Weibull the observed values must be greater than zero). For those distributions, you can specify a lower threshold (location) value. The threshold (location) values will be subtracted from the observed values before the respective distribution is fitted.
Number of mixtures Enter the number of mixture components for the Gaussian mixture model.
