Results in Weibull++
Since [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!S_{1}=S_{2}=S_{3}= }[/math] 0 and [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!T_{1}=T_{2}=T_{3}= }[/math] 200 then the maximum likelihood estimates of [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\hat{\beta} }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \,\!\hat{\lambda } }[/math] are given by:
- [math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align}
\hat{\beta }=&\frac{\sum_{q=1}^{K}N_{q}}{\sum_{q=1}^{K}\sum_{i=1}^{N_{q}}ln \left(\frac{T}{N_{iq}}\right)}\\
=&0.6153
\end{align}\,\! }[/math]
- [math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align}
\hat{\beta }=&\frac{\sum_{q=1}^{K}N_{q}}{KT^{\hat{\beta }}}\\
=&0.4605
\end{align}\,\! }[/math]
