You can use any of these probability distributions for uncertain inputs in your Risk Solver Add-in model.  This is a subset of the probability distributions available in Frontline's Analytic Solver software.  For full descriptions of each distribution, including formulas for its probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF) and key moments, see the Frontline Solvers Reference Guide.  If you are logged in to Solver.com, you can download this Reference Guide in PDF form at User Guides for Frontline Excel Solvers.
