Weibull Distribution For Estimating The Parameters

Lecture 15 Introduction to Survival Analysis

estimating survival functions. Sometimes, we may want to make more assumptions that allow us to model the data in more detail. By specifying a parametric form for S(t), we can • easily compute selected quantiles of the distribution • estimate the expected failure time • derive a concise equation and smooth function for estimating S(t), H ...
