Estimating the parameters of 3-p Weibull distribution through differential evolution
作者：
Highlights：
• The Weibull distribution is used lifetime distributions in reliability engineering.
• The estimation of the parameters of this distribution is essential.
• Maximum likelihood (ML) estimation is a common method for parameter estimation.
• The working principle of ML estimation based on maximizing the likelihood function.
• We used differential evolution algorithm as parameter estimation tool in 3-p Weibull.
