摘要：The Weibull distribution has received much interest in reliabilitytheory. The well-known maximum likelihood estimators (MLE) of this fam-ily are not available in closed form expression. In this work, we propose aconsistent and closed form estimator for shape parameter of three-parameterWeibull distribution. Apart from high degree of performance, the derivedestimator is location and scale-invariant.
