A Review of Parameter Estimation Methods of the Three-Parameter Weibull Distribution

Abstract

The Weibull distribution, widely employed in reliability engineering, life testing, and failure analysis, stands as a prominent probability distribution. Notably, the three-parameter Weibull distribution proves invaluable in capturing wear-out failure mechanisms within system modeling. This comprehensive review delves into distinct methodologies and techniques on parameter estimation for the three-parameter Weibull distribution, offering detailed comparisons.
