In this paper, we propose a method for the parameter estimation of a Weibull distribution. It is based on the estimates of the cumulative probability function. The estimates, obtained by applying the proposed methodology are compared with the results obtained by several literature estimators. In particular, we then enlarge the method to samples showing outliers. Such a method could be employed in mechanical applications or time series analysis.

Abstract
In this paper, we propose a method for the parameter estimation of a Weibull distribution. It is based on the estimates of the cumulative probability function. The estimates, obtained by applying the proposed methodology are compared with the results obtained by several literature estimators. In particular, we then enlarge the method to samples showing outliers. Such a method could be employed in mechanical applications or time series analysis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
