I have a program for which I am trying to analyze its performance. My adviser recommended that I find the probability distribution for the data I have. However, I am not quite sure how to do this.
The data is something like:
He suggested I find the probability distribution between the times and the size. I am not really sure what he means by this.
What I've tried: I found the average and the standard deviation of the times. I then, in Excel, used the function:
Where x is a Time on the above list. I do this for every single time.
I then plot the distributions (on the Y) vs. the Times (on the X). With this, I get a plot that resembles the one I've attached to this post.
The question is: is the plot of distributions for each value vs. Time a meaningful plot?
Also, I do not have Size factored in. What plot would allow me to compare Time vs. Size?
Thank you.
The data is something like:
Code:
[U]Time[/U] [U]Size[/U]
2.10 ms 2
2.30 ms 2
2.90 ms 3
3.10 ms 2
3.30 ms 4
4.10 ms 4
4.30 ms 4
5.30 ms 5
5.50 ms 6
..etc

What I've tried: I found the average and the standard deviation of the times. I then, in Excel, used the function:
Code:
NORMDIST(Time[x], avg, std dev, true)
Where x is a Time on the above list. I do this for every single time.
