In the initial Compare Distributions report, the probability and time axes are linear. But suppose that you want to see distribution estimates on a Fréchet scale.1

In the Compare Distributions report, select Fréchet in the Scale column.

Select Interval Type > Pointwise from the red triangle menu.

Select SEV in the Scale column.

The nonparametric estimates no longer approximate a straight line (Nonparametric Estimates with a SEV Probability Scale). You now know that the SEV distribution is not appropriate.
Using different scales is sometimes referred to as drawing the distribution on different types of probability paper.
