Weibull Reference Examples Banner.png

This example validates the calculations for the variance and covariance matrix for a Normal distribution with ML estimates in Weibull++ standard folios.


Reference Case

The data set is from Example 4.17 on page 246 in the book Reliability Engineering by Dr. Elsayed, Addison Wesley Longman, Inc, 1996.


Data

The failure times of the components are: 14, 18, 18, 20, 21, 22, 22, 20, 17, 17, 15, 13.
