In weibullness: Goodness-of-Fit Test for Weibull Distribution (Weibullness)

Estimate of shape and scale parameters of Weibull using the Weibull plot

Description

Calculates the estimates of the shape and scale parameters.

Usage

weibull.wp(x, n, a)

Arguments

x	a numeric vector of observations.
n	The number of observations is needed if there is right-censoring.
a	the offset fraction to be used; typically in (0,1). See ppoints.

Details

weibull.wp obtains the estimates of the shape and scale parameters using the intercept and slope estimates from the Weibull plot.

Value

An object of class "weibull.estimate", a list with two parameter estimates
