Estimation and Tests-of-Fit for the Three Parameter Weibull Distribution

Abstract

Estimation techniques are given for the three-parameter Weibull distribution, with the location (or origin) parameter unknown, and possibly also the shape and/or scale parameters unknown. Tests of fit are described, and tables are given for the EDF statistics A(2), W(2) and U(2), to make the tests. Several examples are discussed.
