Probability Distribution Analysis Data Model

The following diagram shows how the families used in Probability Distribution Analysis are related to one another.

Note: In the diagram, boxes represent entity families and arrows represent relationship families that are configured in the baseline database. You can determine the direction of the each relationship definition from the direction of the arrow head: the box from which the arrow originates is the predecessor, and the box to which the arrow head points is the successor.

In the above image, the Distribution box represents one of four Distribution subfamilies in which records can exist: Exponential, Lognormal, Normal, or Weibull.

As you develop a Probability Distribution Analysis, you will create records in these families and link them together, either manually or automatically via the options in the GE Digital APM Framework. Throughout this documentation, we use the term Probability Distribution Analysis to mean the combination of the Distribution record and all the records that are linked to it.
