Generalized Gamma Distribution with MLE Solution

This example validates the calculations for the MLE solution for the Generalized-Gamma distribution in Weibull++ standard folios.

The data set from Table 1.1 on page 4 in the book Statistical Methods for Reliability Data by Dr. Meeker and Dr. Escobar, John Wiley & Sons, 1998 is used.

The solution is given on page 257, Example 11.2. The ML estimates are $$\mu\,\!$$ = 4.23, $$\sigma\,\!$$ = 0.51 and $$\alpha\,\!$$ = 0.3076.

The following picture shows the results in Weibull++:
