Attributes of occupancy distributions

1.  On the Base Data menu, click > Distributions > Occupancy.

The Occupancy Distributions list opens.

Note: In lists, you can use the  Attribute selection icon to show and hide attribute values (Selecting attributes and subattributes for columns of a list).

The list contains the following attributes:

Long name Short name Description
Number No Number of occupancy distribution
Name Name Name of the occupancy distribution
Type Type

Type of distribution function:

  • Empirical: Cumulative frequency function. Definition between lower limit and upper limit, with intermediate points in the curve
  • Normal: Normal distribution. Definition between lower limit and upper limit, with mean value and standard deviation
Lower bound Lower bound Minimum occupation of vehicle
Upper bound Upper bound Maximum occupation of vehicle
Standard deviation StdDev Can only be changed for normal distribution: Dispersion of values between lower bound and upper bound
Mean Mean Can only be changed for normal distribution: Mean of values between lower bound and upper bound

The attribute and attribute values of this base data type are shown in the list on the left, which consists of two coupled lists.

1.  In the list on the left, click the desired entry.

The list on the right contains attributes and attribute values of base data objects allocated to the base data object selected in the list on the left (Using coupled lists):

  • Data points: Individual data point values for occupancy distribution. By default, no point is defined for the predefined distribution Individual, of the type Normal. You can insert data points for an empirical distribution. These data points are then displayed as intermediate points in the curve (Editing the graph of a function or distribution).
  • x: Occupancy at data point in curve
  • At data point 1: Minimum occupancy of selected occupancy distribution
  • Occupancy of additional data points, if defined for the curve
  • At last data point: Maximum occupancy of selected occupancy distribution
  • FX (f(x)): Value for probable occupancy x at data point
  • At data point 1: 0
  • If, for an empirical distribution, additional data points are defined for the curve: Probability of occupancy at data point x
  • At last data point: 1

Occupancy distribution is monotonically increasing. This is why each FX value must be greater than or equal to its preceding value.

2.  On the list toolbar, in the Relations list, click the desired entry.
