In WeibullR: Weibull Analysis for Reliability Engineering

Quick Fit, Maximum Likelihood Estimate for 3-parameter lognormal distributions

Description

Determination of lognormal fitting parameters with third, translation parameter optimization.

Usage

MLEln3p(x, s=NULL, bounds=FALSE, show=FALSE) 

Arguments

x	A vector of failure data, or a dataframe wit time, event and optionally qty columns
s	An optional vector of suspension data.
bounds	A logical argument defining whether confidence interval bounds should be calculated by pivotal analysis.
show	A logical argument defining whether a simple graphical output is desired.

Details

This function is intended to provide a simple casual method of standard lognormal fitting based on default methods, without options.

Value

When the bounds argument is set to FALSE this function returns a vector with named elements for Mulog, Sigmalog, and LL (log-likelihood). Bounds are not determined for 3p models, hence any bounds argument is simply ignored.
