Weibull Distribution
Weibull Statistical Distribution
General Characteristics
- If a quantity X, is a ‘time-to-failure’, the Weibull distribution gives a distribution for which the failure rate is proportional to a power of time.
Specific Characteristics
Key Measures:
Shape, Scale
Range of values:
0 < x < ∞
Application
Weibull distributions can be used; in calculating time between failures, in calculating the time required to complete a certain task & to model equipment failures
Weibull distributions are widely used; in forecasting technological changes, in radar systems, in insurance companies & in survival analysis.
