===Confidence Bounds===
#REDIRECT [[The_Gamma_Distribution]]
The only method available in Weibull++ for confidence bounds for the gamma distribution is the Fisher matrix, which is described next. The complete derivations were presented in detail (for a general function) in Chapter 5.
====Bounds on the Parameters====
The lower and upper bounds on the mean,  <math>\widehat{\mu }</math> , are estimated from:
 
::<math>\begin{align}
  & {{\mu }_{U}}= & \widehat{\mu }+{{K}_{\alpha }}\sqrt{Var(\widehat{\mu })}\text{ (upper bound)} \\
& {{\mu }_{L}}= & \widehat{\mu }-{{K}_{\alpha }}\sqrt{Var(\widehat{\mu })}\text{ (lower bound)} 
\end{align}</math>
 
 
Since the standard deviation,  <math>\widehat{\sigma }</math> , must be positive,  <math>\ln (\widehat{\sigma })</math>  is treated as normally distributed and the bounds are estimated from:
 
::<math>\begin{align}
  & {{k}_{U}}= & \widehat{k}\cdot {{e}^{\tfrac{{{K}_{\alpha }}\sqrt{Var(\widehat{k})}}{{\hat{k}}}}}\text{ (upper bound)} \\
& {{k}_{L}}= & \frac{\widehat{\sigma }}{{{e}^{\tfrac{{{K}_{\alpha }}\sqrt{Var(\widehat{k})}}{\widehat{k}}}}}\text{ (lower bound)} 
\end{align}</math>
 
where  <math>{{K}_{\alpha }}</math>  is defined by:
 
::<math>\alpha =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi }}\int_{{{K}_{\alpha }}}^{\infty }{{e}^{-\tfrac{{{t}^{2}}}{2}}}dt=1-\Phi ({{K}_{\alpha }})</math>
 
If  <math>\delta </math>  is the confidence level, then  <math>\alpha =\tfrac{1-\delta }{2}</math>  for the two-sided bounds and  <math>\alpha =1-\delta </math>  for the one-sided bounds.
 
The variances and covariances of  <math>\widehat{\mu }</math>  and  <math>\widehat{k}</math>  are estimated from the Fisher matrix, as follows:
 
::<math>\left( \begin{matrix}
  \widehat{Var}\left( \widehat{\mu } \right) & \widehat{Cov}\left( \widehat{\mu },\widehat{k} \right)  \\
  \widehat{Cov}\left( \widehat{\mu },\widehat{k} \right) & \widehat{Var}\left( \widehat{k} \right)  \\
\end{matrix} \right)=\left( \begin{matrix}
  -\tfrac{{{\partial }^{2}}\Lambda }{\partial {{\mu }^{2}}} & -\tfrac{{{\partial }^{2}}\Lambda }{\partial \mu \partial k}  \\
  {} & {}  \\
  -\tfrac{{{\partial }^{2}}\Lambda }{\partial \mu \partial k} & -\tfrac{{{\partial }^{2}}\Lambda }{\partial {{k}^{2}}}  \\
\end{matrix} \right)_{\mu =\widehat{\mu },k=\widehat{k}}^{-1}</math>
 
 
<math>\Lambda </math>  is the log-likelihood function of the gamma distribution, described in Chapter 3 and Appendix C.
