A distribution fitting report displays the results graphically with histograms, curve fit and probability plots sorted by best fit. "This enables practitioners to easily deal with their real world data," said John Noguera, CTO, SigmaXL.

SigmaXL is rapidly becoming the tool of choice for Lean Six Sigma practitioners and business professionals around the world. As an add-in to the already familiar Microsoft Excel, SigmaXL is ideal for training or use in a college statistics course.
