9. The Weibull Distribution
math.bme.huThe Weibull Distribution In this section, we will study a two-parameter family of distributions that has special importance in reliability. The Basic Weibull Distribution 1. Show that the function given below is a probability density function for any k > 0: f(t)=k tk−1 exp(−tk), t > 0

faculty.washington.eduNamely, in an exponential distribution, the hazard function is a constant and the cumulative hazard is just a linear function of time. Example 2 (Weibull distribution). The Weibull distribution is a distribution with two parameters, and k, and it is a distribution for positive random variable. Its PDF is p(t) = k( t)k 1 e ( t)k;t 0:

Prepared by Scott Speaks Vicor Reliability Engineering
www.vicorpower.comThe Weibull parameter (beta) is the slope. It signifies the rate of failure. When < 1, the Weibull distribution models early failures of parts. When = 1, the Weibull distribution models the exponential distribution. The exponential distribution is the model for the useful life period, signifying that random failures are occurring. When = 3, the

When it is less than one, the hazard function is convex and decreasing. t h(t) Gamma > 1 = 1 < 1 Weibull Distribution: The Weibull distribution can also be viewed as a generalization of the expo-
Parametric Survival Models - Princeton University
data.princeton.eduThe Gompertz distribution is characterized by the fact that the log of the hazard is linear in t, so (t) = expf + tg and is thus closely related to the Weibull distribution where the log of the hazard is linear in logt. In fact, the Gompertz is a log-Weibull distribution. This distribution provides a remarkably close t to adult mortality in

Weibull distribution is characterized by two important parameters, scale factor ( ) and shape factor ( ). They are defined as: ( ) 1 exp 1 R(t ) t
