Abstract
The chapter addresses the selection of the distribution type and the determination of parameters of analytical distributions for damage modelling. This is challenging, most often due to the lack of data, in particular for personnel. The determination of the goodness of fit of distributions for the selection of the distribution type, using e.g. the Kolmogorov-Smirnov or the Chi-squared test, is only indicated, as well as almost all standard methods for parameter determination: momentum, likelihood and resampling. The sample method given for the parameter estimation is the graphical method, applied to the parameter determination of Weibull distributions. It is motivated how the Weibull paper is designed and how to read off the Weibull distribution parameters. It is only indicated how the Weibull paper can be used to assess the correct distribution type.
