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 (Figure 3.15). 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.
