Abstract

In this paper, we propose a robust method for estimating the parameters of a Weibull distribution, based on the transformation of the location-scale family. Furthermore we perform the estimates by equalizing the median of transformed empiric sample with the median value, extracted from simulated Monte Carlo samples, of the same length.
