Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Three-Parameter Weibull Distribution Using Evolutionary Strategy

The maximum likelihood estimation is a widely used approach to the parameter estimation. However, the conventional algorithm makes the estimation procedure of three-parameter Weibull distribution difficult. Therefore, this paper proposes an evolutionary strategy to explore the good solutions based o...
