Summary

In this START sheet we have discussed the important problem of (empirically) assessing the Weibull distribution assumptions of a data set. We have provided several numerical and graphical examples. We have discussed some related theoretical and practical issues, giving references to background information and further readings. In doing so, we mentioned other, very important, reliability analysis topics. Due to their complexity, these will be treated in more detail in forthcoming papers.
