to_k_lambda_weibull: Parameter Conversion for Weibull Distribution
Description
The function to_k_lambda_weibull converts the mean and standard deviation to the shape and scale for
the Weibull distributions.
Usage
to_k_lambda_weibull(mu, sd)
Value
a list of two items
k
a vector of the shapes of Weibull distributions
lambda
a vector of the scales of Weibull distributions
Arguments
mu
a numeric vector representing the means of Weibull distributions
sd
a numeric vector representing the standard deviations of Weibull distributions.
mu and sd should have the same length.
Details
The purpose of this function is to convert the parameterization of Weibull distribution in the form of
mean and standard deviation to the form of shape and scale. It can be used for specifying the initial
values for the EM algorithm when the first-hand initial values are in the form of mean and standard
deviation from K-means clustering algorithm.
