Solution

Using Weibull++, the computed parameters for maximum likelihood are:

[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} & {{{\hat{\mu }}}^{\prime }}= & 2.83 \\ & {\hat{\sigma '}}= & 1.10 \end{align} }[/math]

For rank regression on [math]\displaystyle{ X\ \ : }[/math]

[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} & {{{\hat{\mu }}}^{\prime }}= & 2.83 \\ & {{{\hat{\sigma' }}}}= & 1.24 \end{align} }[/math]

For rank regression on [math]\displaystyle{ Y\ \ : }[/math]

[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} & {{{\hat{\mu }}}^{\prime }}= & 2.83 \\ & {{{\hat{\sigma' }}}}= & 1.36 \end{align} }[/math]
