Robust Estimators of the 3-Parameter Weibull Distribution

Adil Adatia, Lai K. Chan

Abstract

Robust estimators of the location, scale, and shape parameters of the Weibull distribution are proposed. The estimators are easy to calculate and have few of the disadvantages associated with the maximum likelihood estimators. Their rms-errors are considerably smaller than those of the estimators available in the literature.
