Distribution Fitting and SPC for Excel
Sometimes you are not sure what type of distribution your data follows. Our SPC for Excel software makes it easy to fit distributions. The software includes 14 distributions that can be fitted to your data:
- Exponential
- Exponential - Two Parameter
- Gamma
- Gamma - Three Parameter
- Largest Extreme Value
- Logistic
- LogLogistic
- LogLogistic - Three Parameter
- LogNormal
- LogNormal - Three Parameter
- Normal
- Smallest Extreme Value
- Weibull
- Weibull - Three Parameter
