Fit Curve Command

Fits a drawn curve to a probability distribution

The Artist menu Fit Curve command fits a probability distribution to a drawn curve. When a drawn curve is fitted, the X and Y values associated with the curve are placed in the Input Data grid and fit. The results of the fit are displayed in a standard Fit Result window where each of the fitted distributions can be reviewed.

Fitting a drawn curve uses the same fitting techniques used for either Density Curve input data (if the drawn curve type is Density) or Cumulative Curve input data (if the drawn curve type is Cuml.Ascending or Cuml.Descending). For more information on input data types, see the Fitting Menu: Input Data Options Command. For more information on fitting Density Curve input data and Cumulative Curve input data, see Chapter 2: An Overview of Distribution Fitting.
