Discrete

The Discrete Empirical option under the Data Driven option of a Numeric Source block requires the following input data, as shown in Figure B.4:

  • Data Name: The location of the SAS data set or JMP table that contains the data to be used to specify a discrete empirical distribution.

  • X : Name of the column in the data set that contains the set of possible discrete values , ordered so that .

  • Y : Name of the column in the data set that corresponds to the probability mass function values for each so that ; ; and for .
