Calculate Weibull Parameters

Description

This function calculates the shape (alpha) and scale (beta) parameters of a Weibull distribution given the median, first quartile, and delta values.

Usage

calculate_weibull_parameters(given_median, given_first_quartile, delta)

Arguments

given_median	The median of the data.
given_first_quartile	The first quartile of the data.
delta	A constant offset value.

Value

A list containing the calculated Weibull parameters:

alpha	The shape parameter of the Weibull distribution
beta	The scale parameter of the Weibull distribution

Examples

# Calculate Weibull parameters
params <- calculate_weibull_parameters(
  given_median = 50,
  given_first_quartile = 30,
  delta = 15
)
print(params)
