  • Abstract
    The research of graphical method reported in this article is originally motivated with the intention of analyzing life data more effectively than the conventional techniques. Tables are provided for selecting optimum graphical plotting positions so as to assess the validity of fitting a theoretical distribution to large data set and to obtain graphical estimates of unknown parameters.
