#'
#' @details This function will attempt to estimate the weibull shape and scale
#' parameters given some vector of values.
#'
#' @description The function will return a list output by default, and  if the parameter
#' `.auto_gen_empirical` is set to `TRUE` then the empirical data given to the
#' parameter `.x` will be run through the `tidy_empirical()` function and combined
#' with the estimated weibull data.
#'
#' @param .x The vector of data to be passed to the function.
#' @param .auto_gen_empirical This is a boolean value of TRUE/FALSE with default
#' set to TRUE. This will automatically create the `tidy_empirical()` output
#' for the `.x` parameter and use the `tidy_combine_distributions()`. The user
#' can then plot out the data using `$combined_data_tbl` from the function output.
