-Estimate the parameters for three-parameter Weibull, for a sample of ten units all tested to failure. The times-to-failure were recorded at 200; 370; 500; 620; 730; 840; 950; 1,050; 1,160; and 1,400 hours.

-===Computed Results for Weibull Distribution Example 19===
-Weibull++ computed parameters for rank regression on X are:

-The small difference between the published results and the ones obtained from Weibull++ are due to the difference in the estimation method. In the publication the parameters were estimated using probability plotting (i.e. the fitted line was "eye-balled"). In Weibull++, the parameters were estimated using non-linear regression (a more accurate, mathematically fitted line). Note that γ in this example is negative. This means that the unadjusted for γ line is concave up, as shown next.
