Future potential features
Below are the list of features that are being considered for the next version of the probability distribution explorer. Please contact Anna if you have any other ideas for her to consider!
Explore features of probability distributions
- Add option to compare two probability distributions e.g. two normal distributions with different standard deviations
- Add option to save/share the page with details of the probability distribution and its parameters
Explore goodness-of-fit for probability distributions
- Include other probability distributions
- Include features from the previous version of this tool (See Modelling tool)
