Estimation Method

Maximum Likelihood: Choose to estimate the distribution parameters using the maximum likelihood method, which are estimated by maximizing the likelihood function.

Least Squares (failure time(X) on rank(Y)): Choose to estimate the distribution parameters using the least squares (XY) method, which are estimated by fitting a regression line to the points in a probability plot.

Show different variables or by levels Choose to display the graphs overlaid on the same graph or on separate graphs.

Minimum and Maximum X Scale:

Use default values: Choose to use the default values for the minimum and maximum X scale.

Use: Choose to enter your own values for the X scale minimum and maximum.

Minimum X scale: Enter a value for the minimum X scale.

Maximum X scale: Enter a value for the maximum X scale.

Title: To replace the default title with your own title, type the desired text in this box.
