Fits all distributions other than the threshold (TH) distributions. The distributions are compared in the Model Comparisons report. For details, see Compare Distributions.
Tip: Select the Comparison Criterion option to change the criterion for finding the best distribution.
Fits all nonnegative distributions (Exponential, Lognormal, Loglogistic, Fréchet, Weibull, and Generalized Gamma). The distributions are compared in the Model Comparisons report. See Compare Distributions. Note the following:

Fits all defective subpopulation (DS) distributions: DS Lognormal, DS Weibull, DS Loglogistic, and DS Fréchet. For details about defective subpopulation distributions, see Distributions for Defective Subpopulations.
Fits a distribution that is a mixture of the distributions other than the threshold (TH) distributions. See Mixture.
Shows or hides data points in the probability plot. The Life Distribution platform uses the midpoint estimates of the step function to construct probability plots. When you deselect Show Points, the midpoint estimates are replaced by Kaplan-Meier estimates.
Enables you to select the criterion used to rank models in the Model Comparison report. For all three criteria, smaller values indicate better fit. Burnham and Anderson (2002) and Akaike (1974) discuss using AICc and BIC for model selection. For more details, see Likelihood, AICc, and BIC in the Fitting Linear Models book.
