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 ...

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.

The two-parameter Weibull distribution has been recognized as a useful model for survival populations associated with reliability studies and life testing experiments. In the analysis of atmospheric ...

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 ...
