Format: VoseContinuousFit({data}, min, max, uncertainty, U)
Fits a non-parametric continuous (i.e. an Ogive) distribution to data. Use the Uncertainty parameter to choose between a
first-order non-parametric distribution and a second-order non-parametric distribution.
• {data} - an array of spreadsheet data.
• min - (optional) the lower bound of the fitted distribution. If omitted, the data minimum is chosen as lower bound.
• max - (optional) the upper bound of the fitted distribution. If omitted, the data maximum is chosen as upper bound.
• Uncertainty - (optional) boolean parameter (TRUE/FALSE). Set to TRUE to include second-order uncertainty about the fitted distribution itself. Set to FALSE (default) to use a "best-guess" distribution.
• U - optional parameter specifying the cumulative percentile of the distribution. If omitted the function generates random values.
VoseContinuousFit generates values from this distribution.
VoseContinuousFitProb returns the probability density or cumulative distribution function for this distribution.
VoseContinuousFitProb10 returns the log10 of the probability density or cumulative distribution function.
