The forecast settings related to distribution type determine the overall appearance of a forecast chart. You can also choose to display a table of statistics or percentiles instead of or in addition to a chart.
To set the distribution type or display a data table:
Select a distribution type or other view to display on the forecast chart:
Frequency — Shows the number or frequency of values occurring in a given interval. This is the default distribution type.
Cumulative Frequency — Shows the number or proportion (percentage) of values less than or equal to a given amount.
Reverse Cumulative Frequency — Shows the number or proportion (percentage) of values greater than or equal to a given amount.
Statistics — Shows a full set of descriptive statistics for a simulation in the forecast window.
Percentiles — Shows percentile information in 10% increments, where a percentile is the percent chance, or probability, of a forecast value being less than or equal to the value that corresponds to the percentile (by default).
Goodness Of Fit — If distribution fitting is selected in the Forecast or Preferences, then Forecast menus, shows goodness-of-fit statistics for the selected distributions and ranking methods.
Capability Metrics — If process capability metrics are set for display, shows a table of process capability (quality) statistics for the simulation (Viewing Capability Metrics).
Split View — Shows all selected views simultaneously (Using Split View).
See View Examples for descriptions and illustrations of each view.
