Maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of a statistical model involves maximizing the likelihood or, equivalently, the log likelihood with respect to the parameters. The parameter values at ...

The Weibull distribution remains an indispensable tool in reliability engineering and lifetime analysis, offering flexibility for modelling diverse failure behaviours. Modern parameter estimation ...

Recent advances in the field of chemical process modelling have underscored the critical role of accurate parameter estimation and model optimisation. Robust models are essential to predict system ...

The following data are taken from Lawless (1982, p.193) and represent the number of days it took rats painted with a carcinogen to develop carcinoma. The last 2 observations are censored data from a ...
