• Resumen

  • In this paper the implementation of a distribution fitting using Excel spreadsheets is described. The implemented spreadsheet uses the definition of names, different formulae and the Add-in solver. An important advantage is the way in which the optimum location parameter is found. The usefulness of the sheet is guaranteed by its simplicity; in fact, it has been used satisfactorily by maintenance engineering students.
