Wind Engineering, Vol. 39, No. 3 (2015), pp. 253-260 (8 pages) ABSTRACT This workmodels capacity factor in terms of wind turbine operating characteristics, mean wind speed, and shape parameter of ...

In this paper an estimator of the location parameter of the Weibull distribution is proposed which is independent of its scale and shape parameters. Several properties of this estimator are ...

This example compares the use of three-parameter and two-parameter Weibull Q-Q plots for the failure times in months for 48 integrated circuits. The times are assumed to follow a Weibull distribution.

The Weibull distribution remains an indispensable tool in reliability engineering and lifetime analysis, offering flexibility for modelling diverse failure behaviours. Modern parameter estimation ...

Here’s a way to calculate the reliability for designs with several subsystems. • Weibull plots fit a curve through data, not data to a predetermined distribution’s curve. • After evaluating subsystems ...

Maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of a statistical model involves maximizing the likelihood or, equivalently, the log likelihood with respect to the parameters. The parameter values at ...

Most products are built to specifications that include some measure of reliability. In the design stage, FEA does a good job of pinpointing the weak spots in parts and assemblies. But the real test ...
