A Computer Program for Fitting Censored Samples to a Weibull Distribution (CENWEIB).

Jerry R. Thomas, John Gallo

Abstract

The Censored Weibull Program (CENWEIB) is a UNIVAC 1108 computer program for fitting censored samples to a Weibull distribution or for generating random data from a Weibull distribution. Maximum likelihood estimating equations are used to calculate parameters for the two-parameter Weibull distribution. Moment estimating equations are used to calculate parameters for the three-parameter Weibull distribution. (Author)
