Hi,
I'm about doing the review for our help translations and came across an
inconsistency for the WEIBULL function (the parameter C).
The new Help for this reads:
If C is 0, WEIBULL calculates the cumulative distribution function.
If C is 1, WEIBULL calculates the probability density function.
this is equivalent to the wiki:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Calc:_WEIBULL_function
But the function wizard's quick tip is:
C: Cumulated. C=0 calculates the density function, C=1 the distribution.
What states quite the opposite.
Can somebody tell, what is correct here?
In the spec it is:
WEIBULL
Summary: Calculates the Weibull distribution.
Syntax: WEIBULL( Number value ; Number alpha ; Number beta ; Logical
cumulative )
Returns: Number
Constraints: value >= 0; alpha > 0; beta > 0
Semantics: Calculates the Weibull distribution at the position value.
If cumulative is false, the probability density function is calculated.
If cumulative is true, the cumulative distribution function is calculated.
And because 1 is treated as true and 0 is treated as false, 1 is
cumulative and 0 is density. It is the same for all kind of distributions.
Is the English help the text that I get in DEV300m57? Then the help is
wrong.
kind regards
Regina
