Rayleigh Distribution with MLE Solution
|
This example validates the results for a Rayleigh distribution (1-parameter Weibull with beta = 2) in Weibull++ standard folios.
Reference Case
The data set is from Example 5.11 on page 283 in the book Reliability Engineering by Dr. Elsayed, Addison Wesley Longman, Inc, 1996.

Result
- The model parameter is [math]\displaystyle{ \hat{\lambda} = \left (\frac{2}{\hat{\eta}} \right)^{2} = 9.12289\times 10^{-4}\,\! }[/math]
- The Mean Life is 41.49
- The Standard Deviation is 21.70
Results in Weibull++
- [math]\displaystyle{ \hat{\lambda} = \left (\frac{2}{\hat{\eta}} \right)^{2} = \left (\frac{2}{46.821851} \right)^{2} = 9.12289\times 10^{-4}\,\! }[/math]
- The standard deviation is:
