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 ...

The properties of the Weibull distribution function are used to show that there are some simple relationships between the Weibull parameters (k, c) and the wind speed moments $(\bar v,\,\overline ...

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 ...
