A FORTRAN Program for Estimating Parameters in a Cumulative Distribution Function,

Abstract

The report documents and gives a listing for a FORTRAN program written to estimate the parameters of a cumulative distribution function which best fits an empirical cumulative distribution function in a least squares sense. Non-linear regression techniques are used. The program as listed uses the Weibull distribution for the fit, but with the replacement of certain modules the program may be used to fit many different distributions. (Author)
