The Weibull distribution remains an indispensable tool in reliability engineering and lifetime analysis, offering flexibility for modelling diverse failure behaviours. Modern parameter estimation ...

Best linear invariant estimators of log reliable life are derived for a model in which failure times have a two-parameter Weibull distribution and removal of some surviving items from life test is ...

Maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of a statistical model involves maximizing the likelihood or, equivalently, the log likelihood with respect to the parameters. The parameter values at ...

In this paper an estimator of the location parameter of the Weibull distribution is proposed which is independent of its scale and shape parameters. Several properties of this estimator are ...

You can use Q-Q plots to estimate shape, location, and scale parameters and to estimate percentiles. If you are working with a normal Q-Q plot, you can also estimate certain capability indices. Some ...

An industry expert discusses use of the Weibull distribution for life testing electromechanical relays. Life tests for electro-mechanical relays can be set up using relatively small sample sizes, ...
