Weibull++ Standard Folio Data 1P-Weibull

Template:WeibullSideBar

The one-parameter Weibull pdf is obtained by again setting [math]\displaystyle{ \gamma=0 \,\! }[/math] and assuming [math]\displaystyle{ \beta=C=Constant \,\! }[/math] assumed value or:

[math]\displaystyle{ f(T)={ \frac{C}{\eta }}\left( {\frac{T}{\eta }}\right) ^{C-1}e^{-\left( {\frac{T}{ \eta }}\right) ^{C}} \,\! }[/math]

where the only unknown parameter is the scale parameter, [math]\displaystyle{ \eta\,\! }[/math].

Note that in the formulation of the one-parameter Weibull, we assume that the shape parameter [math]\displaystyle{ \beta \,\! }[/math] is known a priori from past experience on identical or similar products. The advantage of doing this is that data sets with few or no failures can be analyzed.
