Weibull Log Likelihood Function

The log likelihood of a Weibull density with data, x, shape and scale parameters.

likweibull(shape, scale = 1, x, log = FALSE)

Arguments

shape

shape and scale parameters, the latter defaulting to 1.
scale

shape and scale parameters, the latter defaulting to 1.
x

vector of quantiles.
log

logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

Value

A numeric scalar for the log likelihood of the Weibull density given the data where shape and scale can be held constant or if vector were given vector will be returned.

Details

The log likelihood is the log of a function of parameters given the data.

Examples

likweibull(x = rweibull(n = 2, shape = 3),
        shape = 3)
