distr (version 2.0.6)

Weibull-class: Class "Weibull"

Description

The Weibull distribution with shape parameter $a$, by default $=1$, and scale parameter $\sigma$ has density given by, by default $=1$, $$d(x) = (a/\sigma) {(x/\sigma)}^{a-1} \exp (-{(x/\sigma)}^{a})$$ for $x > 0$. C.f. rweibull

Arguments

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form Weibull(shape, scale). This object is a Weibull distribution.

Examples

Run this code
W <- Weibull(shape=1,scale=1) # W is a Weibull distribution with shape=1 and scale=1.
r(W)(1) # one random number generated from this distribution, e.g. 0.5204105
d(W)(1) # Density of this distribution is 0.3678794 for x=1.
p(W)(1) # Probability that x<1 is 0.6321206.
q(W)(.1) # Probability that x<0.1053605 is 0.1.
shape(W) # shape of this distribution is 1.
shape(W) <- 2 # shape of this distribution is now 2.
