UNIFIT: an interactive computer package for fitting probability distributions to observed data
WSC '85: Proceedings of the 17th conference on Winter simulation
An important problem which occurs in many different disciplines is that of determining a probability distribution which is a good representation of an observed data set. For example, in building a simulation model of a manufacturing process or of a ...
