Attributes of weight distributions

  • ►  On the Base Data menu, click > Distributions > Weight.

The Weight 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 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.

2.  On the list toolbar, in the Relations list, click > Data points.

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 weight distribution. By default, two points are defined. The curve of weight distribution Dreyfuss F also contains an intermediate point.

Data point 1 for minimum weight and the last data point for maximum weight. You can insert additional data points between these data points. These data points are then displayed as intermediate points in the curve (Editing the graph of a function or distribution).

  • x: Weight (kg) at data point in curve.
  • At data point 1: Minimum weight of minimum weight distribution selected
  • Weight of additional data points, if defined for the curve
  • At last data point: Maximum weight of weight distribution selected
  • FX (f(x)): Value for probable weight x at data point
  • At data point 1: 0
  • If additional data points are defined for the curve: Probability of weight at data point x
  • At last data point: 1

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

3.  Enter the desired data.

The data is allocated.
