Quantiles (percentiles) are calculated for typical risk (alpha) probabilities

(0.001, 0.01, 0.5, 0.1, 0.333) and for additional probabilities provided

by the user.

Results can be saved to text files using Save or SaveAs. All the values on the
|
|
four tabs are output to the file chosen, and are tab separated to assist input
|
|
to other programs, for example, spreadsheets or text editors.

|
Note: Excel (for example), only shows 10 decimal digits, by default: to display
|
|
the maximum possible precision (abotu 15 decimal digits), it is necessary to
|
|
format all cells to display this precision. Although unusually accurate, not
|
|
all values computed by Distexplorer will be as accurate as this. Values shown
|
|
as NaN cannot be calculated from the value(s) given, most commonly because the
|
|
value input is outside the range for the distribution.

This Microsoft Windows 32 package distribution.exe was generated from a C# program
|
|
and uses a boost_math.dll generated using the Boost.Math C++ source code from
|
|
the Boost.Math Toolkit, compiled in CLI mode, containing the underlying statistical
|
|
distribution classes and functions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All source code is freely available for view and use under the <a href="http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt" target="_top">Boost

|
Open Source License</a>.

|
|
Toolkit C++ source code</a> to produce boost_math.dll is in the most recent
|
|
<a href="http://www.boost.org" target="_top">Boost</a> release, initially 1.35.0.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It is distributed as a single Windows Installer package Setupdistex.msi. Unzip
|
|
the distexplorer.zip to a temporary location of your choice and run setup.exe.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
(Note that .NET framework 2.0 and VCredist are requirements for this program.
|
|
Most recent and updated Windows environments will already have these, but they
|
|
are quickly, easily and safely installed from the Microsoft site if required.)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
(The package cannot be run on other platforms at present but it should be possible
|
|
to build an equivalent utility on any C/C++ platform if anyone would like to
|
|
undertake this task.)
