WEIBULL PLOT Y

Sample Weibull plot

  • Question:
    Does data follow a 2-parameter Weibull distribution?
    What is best shape parameter for 2-parameter?
    What is best scale (= variation) parameter?
    Outliers?

  • Definition:
    Vertical Axis: Weibull cumulative probability
    Horizontal Axis: Log of ordered Response

  • Interpretation/Conclusion:
    Data follows a 2-parameter Weibull distribution
    Shape parameter is 33.318
    Scale parameter is 5.280
    no outliers
