Weibull Distribution

The Weibull distribution has the probability density function

f(y) = \frac{c}{\sigma} (\frac{y-\theta}{\sigma})^{c-1} \exp( -(\frac{y-\theta}{\sigma})^c ) {for y\gt\theta, c\gt}

where \theta is the threshold parameter, \sigma is the scale parameter, and c is the shape parameter.

The cumulative distribution function is

F(y) = 1 - \exp( -(\frac{y-\theta}{\sigma})^c ) {for y\gt\theta}
