Summary: Input and Output Tables

If a row includes a subparameter, you can specify the name, caslib, and so on in the subparameter. Otherwise, you can specify the name, caslib, and so on in the parameter.

Parameters for Reading Input Tables
Parameter	Subparameter	Description
table	—	specifies an optional input data table that contains the moment values of distributions to be simulated.

Parameters for Creating Output Tables
Parameter	Subparameter	Description
outTable	—	specifies the output data table of sampled values from all specified distributions.
outputTables	names	lists the names of results tables to save as CAS tables on the server.

Parameter Descriptions

cumProb=list(double-1 <, double-2, ...>)

specifies values at which to compute the cumulative probability for each distribution.

density=list(double-1 <, double-2, ...>)

specifies values at which to compute the probability density for each distribution.

display=list(displayTables)

specifies a list of results tables to send to the client for display.

For more information about specifying the display parameter, see the common displayTables parameter (Appendix A: Common Parameters).

grid=TRUE | FALSE

when set to True, simulates a distribution for each combination of moment values. This parameter is ignored if the table parameter is specified.

Default	FALSE

iobsName="string"

specifies the name of the observation number variable in the output data table.

kurtosis=list(double-1 <, double-2, ...>)

specifies the kurtosis of each distribution to be simulated. This parameter is ignored if the table parameter is specified.

kurtosisName="string"

specifies the name of the kurtosis variable in the output data table.

mean=list(double-1 <, double-2, ...>)

specifies the optional means of distributions to be simulated. This parameter is ignored if the table parameter is specified.

meanName="string"

momentReplicates=TRUE | FALSE

when set to True, produces an entry in the moments table for each replicate.

Default	FALSE

noPrint=TRUE | FALSE

when set to True, suppresses all output.

Default	FALSE

nReplicates=integer

Default	1

nSimulations=integer

specifies the number of simulated values to generate for each sample.

Default	0

outputMean=TRUE | FALSE

when set to True, creates a variable that contains distribution means in the output data table.

Default	FALSE

outputStddev=TRUE | FALSE

when set to True, creates a variable that contains distribution standard deviations in the output data table.

Default	FALSE

outputTables=list(outputTables)

lists the names of results tables to save as CAS tables on the server.

For more information about specifying the outputTables parameter, see the common outputTables parameter (Appendix A: Common Parameters).

Alias	displayOut

outTable=list(casouttable)

specifies the output data table of sampled values from all specified distributions.

For more information about specifying the outTable parameter, see the common casouttable parameter (Appendix A: Common Parameters).

quantile=list(double-1 <, double-2, ...>)

simpleTolerance=double

specifies the tolerance value to use for choosing a simpler distribution.

Default	0.0001

skewness=list(double-1 <, double-2, ...>)

specifies the skewness of each distribution to be simulated. This parameter is ignored if the table parameter is specified.

skewnessName="string"

specifies the name of the skewness variable in the output data table.

stddev=list(double-1 <, double-2, ...>)

specifies the optional standard deviations of distributions to be simulated. This parameter is ignored if the table parameter is specified.

stddevName="string"

system="JOHNSON" | "PEARSON"

specifies the system of distributions to use to simulate data.

Default	PEARSON

JOHNSON

simulates data from the Johnson system of distributions.

PEARSON

simulates data from the Pearson system of distributions.

table=list(castable)

specifies an optional input data table that contains the moment values of distributions to be simulated.

For more information about specifying the table parameter, see the common castable parameter (Appendix A: Common Parameters).

variateName="string"

specifies the name of the variate variable in the output data table.
