This example compares the use of three-parameter and two-parameter Weibull Q-Q plots for the failure times in months for 48 integrated circuits. The times are assumed to follow a Weibull distribution.

A simple, unbiased estimator, based on a censored sample, has been proposed by Bain [1] for the scale parameter of the Extreme-value distribution. This estimator was shown to have high efficiency and ...

This example considers a data set given in Lawless (1982). The data are the number of days it took rats painted with a carcinogen to develop carcinoma. The last two observations are censored. Maximum ...
