Re: Density Function in Minitab

2000-07-06 Thread Jon Cryer

Olympio:

I used the Minitab menus to produce the following code
and graph the standard normal density. To do other densities
you need to change the range of values appropriately and 
change the density calculated and stored.

Hope this helps.

Jon Cryer

MTB  Name c1 = 'z'
MTB  Set 'z'
DATA   1( -4 : 4 / .01 )1 # Could shorten to -4:4/.01  Change for other
densities
DATA   End.
MTB  Name c2 = 'Density'
MTB  PDF 'z' 'Density';   # change for other densities
SUBC   Normal 0.0 1.0.# change for other densities
MTB  Plot 'Density'*'z';
SUBC   Connect;   # Connect as a smooth curve
SUBC   ScFrame;   # not needed
SUBC   ScAnnotation;  # not needed
SUBC   Reference 2 0. # added to put a nice base on the curve

Friends:

How Minitab can show the Density Function of a variable? Can the
program calculate this one and show the formula?

Thanks
