New program revolutionizes Weibull parameter estimation for censored data.
The article presents a computer program that helps estimate parameters for the Weibull distribution using different types of data censoring. The program can handle multiply-censored data, singly-censored data with Type I or Type II censoring, and complete data. It can also be used for the three-parameter Weibull distribution if the threshold parameter is estimated separately. The researchers provide examples for the three types of censoring cases to demonstrate how the program works.
