The Weibull-Bayesian Distribution
Another approach is the Weibull-Bayesian model which assumes that the analyst has some prior knowledge about the distribution of the shape parameter ( [math]\displaystyle{ \beta ) }[/math] of the Weibull distribution. There are many practical applications for this model, particularly when dealing with small sample sizes and/or some prior knowledge for the shape parameter is available. For example, when a test is performed, there is often a good understanding about the behavior of the failure mode under investigation, primarily through historical data or physics-of-failure.
