Weibull analysis can be used to examine a myriad of failures and problems, including equipment breakdowns. By better understanding why and when breakdowns happen, companies can better tailor their ...

This example compares the use of three-parameter and two-parameter Weibull Q-Q plots for the failure times in months for 48 integrated circuits. The times are assumed to follow a Weibull distribution.

A new method of estimation is used to obtain two simple estimators of the parameters in a Weibull distribution. These estimators are similar to the estimators given by Gumbel, Miller and Freund, and ...

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Series D (The Statistician), Vol. 40, No. 4 (1991), pp. 365-372 (8 pages) A numerical approach to Bayesian prediction for the two-parameter Weibull ...

This example considers a data set given in Lawless (1982). The data are the number of days it took rats painted with a carcinogen to develop carcinoma. The last two observations are censored. Maximum ...
