Class WeibullDistribution
- All Implemented Interfaces:
ContinuousDistribution
The probability density function of \( X \) is:
\[ f(x;k,\lambda) = \frac{k}{\lambda}\left(\frac{x}{\lambda}\right)^{k-1}e^{-(x/\lambda)^{k}} \]
for \( k > 0 \) the shape, \( \lambda > 0 \) the scale, and \( x \in (0, \infty) \).
Note the special cases:
- \( k = 1 \) is the exponential distribution
- \( k = 2 \) is the Rayleigh distribution with scale \( \sigma = \frac {\lambda}{\sqrt{2}} \)

density
public double density(double x) Returns the probability density function (PDF) of this distribution evaluated at the specified pointx
. In general, the PDF is the derivative of theCDF
. If the derivative does not exist atx
, then an appropriate replacement should be returned, e.g.Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY
,Double.NaN
, or the limit inferior or limit superior of the difference quotient.Returns the limit when

cumulativeProbability
public double cumulativeProbability(double x) For a random variableX

- the probability that a random variable with this
distribution takes a value less than or equal to
x
.
-
survivalProbability
public double survivalProbability(double x) For a random variableX
whose values are distributed according to this distribution, this method returnsP(X > x)
. In other words, this method represents the complementary cumulative distribution function.By default, this is defined as
1 - cumulativeProbability(x)
, but the specific implementation may be more accurate.- Parameters:

- Point at which the survival function is evaluated.- Returns:
- the probability that a random variable with this
distribution takes a value greater than

.
-
inverseCumulativeProbability
public double inverseCumulativeProbability(double p) Computes the quantile function of this distribution. For a random variableX
