 | '''2-Parameter Weibull Distribution RRY Example'''
  |  | #REDIRECT [[The Weibull Distribution]]  | 
 |    |  | 
 | Consider the data in [[Weibull Example 1 Data|Example 1]], where six units were tested to failure and the following failure times were recorded: 16, 34, 53, 75, 93 and 120 hours. Estimate the parameters and the correlation coefficient using rank regression on Y, assuming that the data follow the two-parameter Weibull distribution.

 | '''Solution'''
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | Construct a table as shown below.

 | Utilizing the values from the table, calculate <math> \hat{a} </math> and <math> \hat{b} </math> using the following equations: 
  |  | 
 | ::<math> \hat{b} =\frac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{6}(\ln t_{i})y_{i}-(\sum\limits_{i=1}^{6}\ln t_{i})(\sum\limits_{i=1}^{6}y_{i})/6}{ \sum\limits_{i=1}^{6}(\ln t_{i})^{2}-(\sum\limits_{i=1}^{6}\ln t_{i})^{2}/6}
  |  | 
 | </math> 
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | ::<math> \hat{b}=\frac{-8.0699-(23.9068)(-3.0070)/6}{97.9909-(23.9068)^{2}/6} </math>
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | or
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | ::<math> \hat{b}=1.4301 </math> 
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | and: 
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | ::<math> \hat{a}=\overline{y}-\hat{b}\overline{T}=\frac{\sum \limits_{i=1}^{N}y_{i}}{N}-\hat{b}\frac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{N}\ln t_{i}}{N } </math> 
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | or: 
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | ::<math> \hat{a}=\frac{(-3.0070)}{6}-(1.4301)\frac{23.9068}{6}=-6.19935 </math> 
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | Therefore:
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | ::<math> \hat{\beta }=\hat{b}=1.4301 </math> 
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | and: 
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | ::<math> \hat{\eta }=e^{-\frac{\hat{a}}{\hat{b}}}=e^{-\frac{(-6.19935)}{ 1.4301}} </math> 
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | or: 
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | ::<math> \hat{\eta }=76.318\text{ hr} </math> 
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | The correlation coefficient can be estimated as: 
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | ::<math> \hat{\rho }=0.9956 </math>

 | This example can be repeated in the Weibull++ software, as shown next. The following picture shows a Weibull++ standard folio data sheet calculated with the 2P-Weibull distribution and rank regression on Y.

  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | The following plot shows the Weibull probability plot for the data set (with 90% two-sided confidence bounds).

 | If desired, the Weibull  <math>pdf</math> representing the data set can be written as: 
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | ::<math> f(t)={\frac{\beta }{\eta }}\left( {\frac{t}{\eta }}\right) ^{\beta -1}e^{-\left( {\frac{t}{\eta }}\right) ^{\beta }} </math> 
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | or: 
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | ::<math> f(t)={\frac{1.4302}{76.317}}\left( {\frac{t}{76.317}}\right) ^{0.4302}e^{-\left( {\frac{t}{76.317}}\right) ^{1.4302}} </math> 
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | You can also plot this result by selecting '''Pdf Plot''' on the Plot Type drop-down list on the control panel.
