Member of: SynthesisAPI.WeibullDataSet

Determines which of the selected life distributions best fits the data set (similar to the Distribution Wizard feature in Weibull++) and creates a cModel object that represents the fitted model of the recommended distribution.

Remarks: To specify the distributions, parameter estimation method and other criteria for evaluating the fit, use the BestFitSettings property of the object. To return the cModel object that is produced, use the FittedModel property of the object.
