Generalized Weibull Distributions

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Statistics ((BRIEFSSTATIST))

Abstract

In probability theory and statistics, the Weibull distribution is a continuous probability distribution named after Waloddi Weibull who described it in detail in 1951, although it was first identified by Fréchet (1927) and first applied by Rosin and Rammler (1933) to describe the size distribution of particles.
