after collecting sufficient cycle time data of a process, I use experfit to evaluate and determine the best distribution to fit the data, the results says it is indeterminate, does that mean that there is no distribution that explains the data collected?
the software suggest you use an empirical distribution, to load into the processor's process time, how do I load the results of the empirical distribution into the processor?
You will probably need to send in your model or a sample model of the problems so that we can take a look to see what is happening within the model. If the data returns an indeterminate response from OptQuest then maybe the parameters were not entered in the right way? Because it seems to me there should always be some kind of distribution for any set of input, unless the input in incomplete or not entered correctly.

see attached file, I couldn't attache dthe expert fit file since it is not accepted
Sorry you couldn't attach the ExpertFit file.
I have enabled .efp file uploads. If your file extension was something else, let me know.
@yoni A, I am not too familiar with ExpertFit specifically, so I don't know when it generates that error. However, I am familiar with curve fitting in general. Basically, you find the best fit from a given distribution, and then give it a "goodness of fit" score. My guess is that if that score is not good enough for any distribution, ExpertFit will not recommend a distribution to fit the data. If you make a histogram of the data, are there multiple modes? Most distributions that ExpertFit attempts to fit can only handle a single mode.
