W1.4: The four-parameter Weibull functions

Description

'W1.4' and 'W2.4' provide the four-parameter Weibull functions, self starter function and names of the parameters.

Usage

W1.4(fixed = c(NA, NA, NA, NA), names = c("b", "c", "d", "e"))
  
  W2.4(fixed = c(NA, NA, NA, NA), names = c("b", "c", "d", "e"))

Arguments

fixed

numeric vector. Specifies which parameters are fixed and at what value they are fixed. NAs for parameter that are not fixed.

names

a vector of character strings giving the names of the parameters. The default is reasonable.

Value

• See weibull1.

Details

The mean functions are given at weibull1.

Setting $c=0$ yields W1.3. A more flexible function, allowing fixing or constraining parameters, is weibull1.
