Using a Normal Distribution as Baseline
This feature enables you to set the normal distribution value in terms of mean and standard deviation.

Setting a baseline requires a license for advanced features. See Licensing Requirements for more information. |
By doing so, you could perform analysis by identifying any variances from the plotted charts, aiming towards achieving standardization in your measurements.
Before we understand how to set the normal distribution values, consider the following chart plotted for one of the measurements associated with e2e-iris. The chart shows the sepal_length distribution measurements plotted for e2e-iris dataset.
Modify the configuration of the dataset, which contains the respective measurement field. See Configuring a Dataset to access the configuration options of a dataset.
In the following example, the configuration options are displayed for the dataset named e2e-iris.
- To link one or more measurement fields in a Dataset to Normal Distribution Baseline data, click the cell in the Baseline column corresponding to a measurement row (such as, sepal_length as shown above).
- From the drop-down menu, select Use a normal distribution.
- In the Mean and Std. Dev fields, type the corresponding values.
- Click Save to apply the changes.
- Repeat steps 1 to 4 to link other measurement fields in the dataset with the same or another measurement data.
- Proceed to view the plotted measurement data, which has been linked to the measurement data. Click to select the chart and hover over the chart to see baseline / measurement values. Refer to Plotting Data with Histogram Charts.
