+
+ The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weibull_distribution" target="_top">Weibull
+ distribution</a> is a continuous distribution with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_density_function" target="_top">probability
+ density function</a>:
+ 
+
+ f(x; α, β) = (α/β) * (x / β)α - 1 * e-(x/β)α
+ 
+
+ For shape parameter α   > 0, and scale parameter β   > 0, and x > 0.
+ 
+
+ The Weibull distribution is often used in the field of failure analysis;
+ in particular it can mimic distributions where the failure rate varies
+ over time. If the failure rate is:
+ 
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
+<li>
+ constant over time, then α   = 1, suggests that items are failing from
+ random events.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ decreases over time, then α   < 1, suggesting "infant mortality".
+ </li>
+<li>
+ increases over time, then α   > 1, suggesting "wear out"
+ - more likely to fail as time goes by.
+ </li>
+</ul></div>
+
+ The following graph illustrates how the PDF varies with the shape parameter
+ α:
