DISTRIBUTION Statement
DISTRIBUTION probability distribution-name ;
The ANALYZE, PROBPLOT, RELATIONPLOT, and MODEL statements require you to specify the probability distribution that describes your data. You can specify a probability distribution for lifetime data by using the DISTRIBUTION statement anywhere after the PROC RELIABILITY statement and before the RUN statement. If you do not specify a distribution in a DISTRIBUTION statement, the normal distribution is assumed. In addition, you can specify a parametric non-homogeneous Poisson process model for recurrent events data in a DISTRIBUTION statement. The probability distribution for lifetime data or the model for recurrent events data specified determines the distribution for which parameters are estimated from your data. The valid distributions and the statements to which they apply are shown in Table 16.6 and Table 16.7.
