Intersection point of two Weibull PDFs

I am wondering if there is an algebraic solution (i.e. an equation) to find the intersection point(s) of two Weibull probability densities that have different scale and shape parameters. While I have tried myself and searched for a solution, I have…

Estimation of Weibull parameter In R language

I want to fit Y using M alone I want to also fit Y using M+P M<-c(12.7,13.7,15.6,14.5,17.4) N<-c(0.27,0.29,0.27,0.28,0.25) P<-c(-0.55,-0.47,-0.49,-0.48,-0.44) I fitted the following df1<- data.frame(X1=M, Y=N, X2=P) Fit<-nls(Y~pweibull(M, shape=…

Weibull distribution: Is it possible to solve for the shape and scale from the mean?

I'm modeling product lifetimes. If I know what I want the average lifetime of a product in my model to be, is it possible to fit a Weibull distribution to only that data point?

Rationale for normalization of Weibull distribution?

I am reading a paper which normalizes a Weibull distribution (equation 2): $$ y_{ij} = \frac{ 1 - \exp \left[ - \left( \frac{t_j}{\beta} \right)^\alpha \right] }{ 1 - \exp \left[ - \left( \frac{1}{\beta} \right)^\alpha \right] } $$ where…

Which statistical software can do Weibull analysis and draw these particular figures?

Some R packages, Weibull++, and a couple of other programs can perform Weibull analysis (survival analysis by fitting a Weibull distribution). But I need the one that can both do Weibull regression and draw the attached figures (not similar figures,…

Problem of the pdf plot for Weibull distribution

I'm using MATLAB to plot the Weibull distribution function. But the y-axis, obviously, is not probability. Also, the plot on Wikipedia (here)has same y-axis as mine, so my question is: is there something wrong here? I'm pretty sure that my code is…
