Create a random distribution programmatically in AnyLogic with a double array of probabilites and plot it

Is it possible to create a CustomDistribution in AnyLogic with an double array interval_start and a double array probability, which is one unit smaller? It shall look like this: CustomDistribution c = new CustomDistribution(interval_start, probability);

I could not find any constructor for this case - more specifically for probabilities. The only similar constructor I could find was this: CustomDistribution​(double[] intervalStarts, double[] numberOfObservations)

My second question is how can I plot this distribution in AnyLogic?

Solution

  • Custom distributions just use the relative numbers of observations as probabilities (i.e., the ratios between them determine the probabilities). You can actually use probabilities (0-1 values) as "number of observed values"; "observed values" is just the way AnyLogic chose to name it.
