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 ...

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

When products start failing, management wants answers. Are they failing because of manufacturing problems? Or is the design to blame? One of the most widely regarded methods for ferreting out the ...

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.

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 ...

Large sample estimation of the location and the scale parameter of the Weibull distribution, when the shape parameter is known simultaneously, is considered. Best linear unbiased estimates based on k ...
