Histogram Plot
To plot Histograms of results from a Probabilistic analysis:
- Select Statistics > Plot Histogram or the Plot Histogram
toolbar button. - Select a Data Type from the drop-down list in the dialog.
- Enter a Number of Intervals. The default is 30, but any value between 1 and 500 can be entered.
- If the selected Data Type is an Input Data variable, you can plot the Input Distribution by selecting the Plot Input Distribution check box.
- If the selected Data Type is a results variable calculated in the analysis, you can select the Best Fit Distribution check box to determine the Best Fit Distribution for the variable using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Goodness of Fit test.
- If you select Best Fit Distribution, you can select the Attach Markers to Distribution check box to display interval Markers on the plot.
- Click OK.
The Histogram is generated, and the mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values for the data plotted are listed at the bottom of the Histogram.
