Constructor Detail

WeibullDistribution

public WeibullDistribution(double sh)

Constructs a Weibull distribution.

Parameters:

sh - the shape.

Method Detail

getShapeParameter

public double getShapeParameter()

Returns the shape parameter.

getMean

public double getMean()

Returns the mean.

getVariance

public double getVariance()

Returns the variance.

probability

public double probability(double X)

Probability density function of a Weibull distribution. P(X) = s X^s-1 exp(-X^s).

Specified by:

probability in class ProbabilityDistribution

Parameters:

X - should be integer-valued.

Returns:

the probability that a stochastic variable x has the value X, i.e. P(x=X).

cumulative

public double cumulative(double X)

Cumulative Weibull distribution function.

Specified by:

cumulative in class ProbabilityDistribution

Parameters:

X - should be integer-valued.

Returns:

the probability that a stochastic variable x is less then X, i.e. P(x<X).

inverse

public double inverse(double probability)

Inverse of the cumulative Weibull distribution function.

Specified by:

inverse in class ProbabilityDistribution

Returns:

the value X for which P(x<X).
