Probability Distributions

Analytica User GuideProbability Distributions

This chapter describes how to define uncertain quantities using probability distributions, discrete or continuous. You can use standard parametric distributions, such as Normal, Uniform, Bernoulli, binomial, or custom distributions, where you specify points in tables or arrays. You can also create multivariate distributions over an array of uncertain quantities.
