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

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Four different characterisations of the two-parameter Weibull law have been proposed. The first is in terms of a functional relation to be ...

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 ...

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.

To find an appropriate model for a process distribution, you should consider curves from several distribution families. As shown in this example, you can use the HISTOGRAM statement to fit more than ...

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 ...

Most products are built to specifications that include some measure of reliability. In the design stage, FEA does a good job of pinpointing the weak spots in parts and assemblies. But the real test ...
