On Simple Estimation Of The Parameters Of The Weibull Or Extreme-value Distribution

Author

Max Engelhardt, Missouri University of Science and Technology

Abstract

Simple, closed form approximations for maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of the Weibull or extreme-value distribution are discussed. A method for the exact computation of constants required to calculate the estimates is presented, and simpler approximate methods are also provided. Some inference procedures for the parameters are also discussed. © 1975 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
