Inverse Weibull distribution maximum likelihood estimation

The maximum likelihood estimate of shape and rate are calculated by calling mlweibull on the transformed data.

mlinvweibull(x, na.rm = FALSE)

Arguments

x	a (non-empty) numeric vector of data values.
na.rm	logical. Should missing values be removed?

Value

mlinvweibull returns an object of class univariateML. This is a named numeric vector with maximum likelihood estimates for shape and rate and the following attributes:

model

The name of the model.

density

The density associated with the estimates.

logLik

The loglikelihood at the maximum.

support

The support of the density.

n

The number of observations.

call

The call as captured my match.call

Details

For the density function of the log normal distribution see InverseWeibull.
