PROBPLOT Statement: CAPABILITY Procedure

Summary of Options

The following tables list the PROBPLOT statement options by function. For complete descriptions, see the section Dictionary of Options.

Distribution Options

Table 5.59 summarizes the options for requesting a specific theoretical distribution.

Table 5.59 Options for Specifying a Theoretical Distribution
Option	Description
BETA(beta-options)	specifies beta probability plot for shape parameters $\text{[math]}$ , $\text{[math]}$ specified with mandatory ALPHA= and BETA= beta-options
EXPONENTIAL(exponential-options)	specifies exponential probability plot
GAMMA(gamma-options)	specifies gamma probability plot for shape parameter $\text{[math]}$ specified with mandatory ALPHA= gamma-option
GUMBEL(Gumbel-options)	specifies Gumbel probability plot
LOGNORMAL(lognormal-options)	specifies lognormal probability plot for shape parameter $\text{[math]}$ specified with mandatory SIGMA= lognormal-option
NORMAL(normal-options)	specifies normal probability plot
PARETO(Pareto-options)	specifies generalized Pareto probability plot for shape parameter $\text{[math]}$ specified with mandatory ALPHA= Pareto-option
POWER(power-options)	specifies power function probability plot for shape parameter $\text{[math]}$ specified with mandatory ALPHA= power-option
RAYLEIGH(Rayleigh-options)	specifies Rayleigh probability plot
WEIBULL(Weibull-options)	specifies three-parameter Weibull probability plot for shape parameter $\text{[math]}$ specified with mandatory C= Weibull-option
WEIBULL2(Weibull2-options)	specifies two-parameter Weibull probability plot

Table 5.60 summarizes options that specify distribution parameters and control the display of a distribution reference line. Specify these options in parentheses after the distribution option. For example, the following statements use the NORMAL option to request a normal probability plot with a distribution reference line:

proc capability data=measures;
   probplot length / normal(mu=10 sigma=0.3 color=red);
run;

The MU= and SIGMA= normal-options display a distribution reference line that corresponds to the normal distribution with mean $\text{[math]}$ and standard deviation $\text{[math]}$ , and the COLOR= normal-option specifies the color for the line.
