Compute Stat Params

Menu / Icon

This tool is accessible via the icon in the main upper toolbar or the 'Tools > Statistics > Compute stat. params (active SF)' menu.

Description

This tool fits a statistical distribution on the active scalar field of the selected entity.

Available distributions are:

• Gauss (aka Normal) distribution
• Weibull distribution

Procedure

Select an entity (cloud or mesh) then call this tool.

A dialog will appear so as to let the user choose the distribution to fit:

Eventually CloudCompare will compute the corresponding distribution parameters and display the scalar histogram with a grey curve corresponding to the fitted distribution.

The distribution parameters are displayed above the histogram, and also in the Console (along with the Chi² test result so as to get an evaluation of the fit quality).
