The Weibull Bible: Grasping Analysis for Engineers & Scientists

n nThe Weibull Bible by Paul F. Watson, is a Weibull statistical analysis book presenting effective data analysis methods for engineers, geologists, agricultural scientists, medical researchers and others. When Standard Normal methods prove inadequate, Weibull analysis provides a powerful alternative. This book explains both how to do analysis and why these methods work. Powerful and newly developed methods including the Linear Conjecture and others are also explained and justified.n n n nConceptual and mathematical explanations of why Weibull methods work are based on small data set examples. Meaningful concepts and method justification are explained without relying on advanced mathematics. Mathematical proofs and other reference material is provided in appendices.n n n nMajor Weibull Topics Include: n nDiscussion of stochastic processes and datan nDistinguishing between deterministic and stochastic datan nDiscussion of Probability Density and Cumulative Density Functionsn nPresentation of the Weibull Plot method for characterizing a populationn nDiscussion and examples of Weibull Plots gone wrongn nExamination of two and three parameter Weibull equationsn nExplanations and examples of making predictions using Weibull equationsn nDiscussion of Weibull Analysis used for Reliability & Maintainability Engineeringn nWeibull Software Introductionn n n nThe Weibull Bible is intended for readers with a background that includes Calculus I, some familiarity with the Standard Normal Bell Curve, and the ability to use spreadsheets.
