2P-Weibull MLE Solution for Multiple Right Censored Data

This example validates the calculations for a 2-parameter Weibull MLE solution with likelihood ratio bound for right censored data in Weibull++ standard folios.

The data set in Table C.5 on page 633 of the book Statistical Methods for Reliability Data by Dr. Meeker and Dr. Escobar, John Wiley & Sons, 1998 is used.

The results are given on page 193 in Example 8.16.


 * The MLE solution for $$\hat{\beta}\,\!$$ is 2.035.
 * The B10 life $$t_{0.1} \,\!$$ is 3903. Its 95% 2-sided likelihood ratio bounds are [2093, 22, 144].


 * The following picture shows the MLE solutions in Weibull++:




 * The B10 life $$t_{0.1} \,\!$$ with 95% 2-sided likelihood ratio bounds are shown next:
