Case 2: No Failures and 1+ Suspensions

Data Types:	All except free-form
Methods of Analysis	MLE
Confidence Bounds Calculations?	No
Distributions	1-parameter Weibull and 1-parameter exponential
Competing Failure Modes?	No

Since only suspension data has been entered, Weibull++ will only allow you to perform calculations involving the 1-parameter Weibull distribution with MLE or the 1-parameter exponential distribution with MLE.

To use the 1-parameter Weibull distribution, you will be prompted to enter the shape parameter, beta, as well as the lower one-sided confidence for the scale parameter, eta.

Once you have supplied the parameters, all options and calculations are supported except for calculations involving confidence bounds. The calculated scale parameter, eta, will be the lower one-sided value at the confidence level specified by you.

If using the 1-parameter exponential distribution, the results will be at the 50% confidence level. To use the exponential distribution at a higher confidence level, select the Weibull distribution, specify a beta equal to 1, and enter the desired confidence level.
