Inverted Weibull Distribution

 

Syntax: InW(location, scale, shape, stream)

 

The inverted Weibull distribution (continuous) could be used to model the time required to perform some task. The mean and variance are finite only if shape > 2. If the random variable X has an inverted Weibull distribution with location = 0, scale = b, and shape = a, then Y = 1/X has a Weibull distribution with scale = 1/b and shape = a. (The location parameter is 0.) Parameter restrictions are scale > 0.0 and shape > 0.0.

 

Stream allows you to specify the random number stream for the distribution. There are 215 streams. Stream 1 is the default. See Seeds or Appendix D of the User's Guide for more information.
