abrem-package: Abernethy Reliability Methods

In abrem: Abernethy Reliability Methods

Description

This package calculates fits and confidence intervals from (life-)time observations, following the methods of “The New Weibull Handbook”, Fifth Edition by Dr. Robert B. Abernethy. It is based on the now outdated and unmaintained weibulltoolkit package, still available from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/weibulltoolkit.
