Remarks
Each standard data generator that is numeric has a Distribution property. The user can specify the Distribution property to generate data that approximates a statistical distribution curve. The standard distribution options are as follows: Uniform, Normal, Normal Inverse, Exponential, and Exponential Inverse.
One instance of the designer exists for each distribution that is associated with each numeric column that the data generation plan includes.
