Estimation of Weibull Parameters from Two-Order Statistics
利用两个次序统计量估计 Weibull 分布参数
Summary The use of a computationally simple statistic for estimating, from small samples, the important reciprocal-shape parameter, γ, of the Weibull distribution is described. The estimator uses two suitably selected order statistics from a sample of N failure times. The choice of the two has been made to minimize the variance of the estimator; however, concise formulae are given to permit the use of any two order statistics in the case of censored samples. The statistic is…
