Abstract

BestFit is distribution-fitting software for Microsoft Windows that finds the statistical distribution function that best fits a data set. BestFit provides a flexible, easy-to-use environment for analysis that allows users to focus on their data, not their software. Users of simulation software can use distributions produced by BestFit to define uncertainty in their simulation models. BestFit helps you find the best representation of randomness in your model, making your simulation results more accurate. Users of RISK, ProModel or any other simulation software will find BestFit an invaluable tool for defining uncertainty
