DP-3 : Best fit distribution

Abstract

The documentation of the computer programme for best fit distribution using normalization procedures and chi-square criterion includes listing of source programme, data file and output file with test data and example calculations. This also gives input specifications and output description. Various normalization procedures which have been used in the programme are: inverse Pearson type III transformation, log-normal transformation for which the parameters are estimated on the basis of theoretical relationships, log transformation, inverse log Pearson type III transformation, and square root transformation.
