The Input Data panel of the Batch Fit wizard indicates the location of the data to fit to the distributions selected in the next panel. You can also specify other input-related options.
When you open this panel, the Batch Fit data selector selects possible data for fitting. This information is displayed in the Location Of Data Series text box and the illustration. You can select different data if necessary. The text boxes and options in this panel are:
Location Of Data Series — Used to enter or interactively select the cells that contain data to fit. If the data has headers or labels at the beginning of the rows or columns of data, include them in the selection and select the appropriate Headers setting(s). The data must be in adjacent rows or columns.
Orientation — Indicates whether the data is in rows or columns. Data In Rows indicates that data is in horizontal rows. Data In Columns indicates that data is in vertical columns.
Headers — Indicates whether the data has headers and/or labels and whether they are located in the top (first) row or the left (first) column (varies with orientation). Selected items are used in the output. Top Row Has Headers/Labels, when selected, includes text in the top (first) row in the selection. Left Column Has Labels/Headers, when selected, includes text in the left (first) column in the selection.
Back — Returns to the Welcome panel.
Next — Advances to the Fitting Options panel.
Run — Runs the tool, automatically fitting distributions to the data and creating output of the assumptions and statistics.
When all Input Data settings are complete, click Next to open the Fitting Options panel.
