Density of Weibull distribution

Information

Syntax

Weibull.density(u, lambda=1, k=1);

Description

This function computes the probability density function according to a Weibull distribution with scale parameter lambda and shape parameter k. Equation:

y = if u >= 0 then (k/lambda)*(u/lambda)^(k - 1)*exp(-(u/lambda)^k) else 0.0;

Example

density(0.5)     // = 0.36787944117144233
density(1,0.5,2) // = 0.14652511110987343

Cumulative distribution function of Weibull distribution

Information

Syntax

Weibull.cumulative(u, lambda=1, k=1);

Description

This function computes the cumulative distribution function according to a Weibull distribution with scale parameter lambda and shape parameter k. Equation:

y := if u >= 0 then 1 - exp(-(u/lambda)^k) else 0.0;

The returned value y is in the range:

0 ≤ y ≤ 1

Example

cumulative(0.5)       // = 0.3934693402873666
cumulative(0.5,0.5,1) // = 0.6321205588285577

Quantile of Weibull distribution

Information

Syntax

Weibull.quantile(u, lambda=1, k=1);

Description

This function computes the inverse cumulative distribution function (= quantile) according to a Weibull distribution with scale parameter lambda and shape parameter k. Equation:

y := lambda * (-log( 1-u)) ^(1/k);

Input argument u must be in the range:

0 ≤ u < 1
