Summary: The CumFreq program calculates the cumulative (no exceedance,
non-exceedance) frequency and it does probability distribution fitting of data series,
e.g. crop production, soil properties, salinity, depth to watertable (water-table),
rainfall, river and drain discharge, groundwater (ground-water) and river level,
hydraulic conductivity and soil permeability for water.
The computer program fits various linear, logarithmic, exponential and
double exponential cumulative frequency distributions, including the normal,
log-normal (lognormal), (log)logistic, Cauchy, Pareto, Weibull,
Frechet (Fisher-Tippett type II), and Gumbel probability distributions, and selects
the best fitting distribution using the method of best fit.
Preference for a specific distribution can also be expressed.
Cumfreq not only uses logarithmic but also exponential transformations of the data. The
exponent (greater than 0) is optimized automatically. These so called generalized distributions
have great flexibility, but they are mostly not used in other distribution fitting software.
CumFreq is totally free for download. It can be called shareware (freeware) and is in
public domain.

Details:
When the mathematical model program detects a discontinuity in the function,
it gives the user the choice to introduce a breakpoint (break-point) or threshold
value, yielding a segmented or discontinuous frequency and probability distribution.
The resulting probability distribution is accompanied by 90% confidence
limits and belts (bands) and return periods (recurrence intervals).
The program also divides the range of data into a number of equal
intervals and calculates an interval frequency distribution or histogram.
The number of intervals is to be given by the user.
Examples are given. More details are found in the program itself.
