Cumulative Distribution Function

Weibull distribution cumulative distribution function.

The cumulative distribution function for a Weibull random variable is

where lambda > 0 is the scale parameter and k > 0 is the shape parameter.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-base-dists-weibull-cdf

Usage

var cdf = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-weibull-cdf' );

cdf( x, k, lambda )

Evaluates the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for a Weibull distribution with shape parameter k and scale parameter lambda.

var y = cdf( 2.0, 1.0, 0.5 );
// returns ~0.982

y = cdf( 0.0, 1.0, 0.5 );
// returns 0.0

y = cdf( -Infinity, 4.0, 2.0 );
// returns 0.0

y = cdf( +Infinity, 4.0, 2.0 );
// returns 1.0

If provided NaN as any argument, the function returns NaN.

var y = cdf( NaN, 1.0, 1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = cdf( 0.0, NaN, 1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = cdf( 0.0, 1.0, NaN );
// returns NaN

If provided k <= 0, the function returns NaN.

var y = cdf( 2.0, 0.5, -1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = cdf( 2.0, 0.5, 0.0 );
// returns NaN

If provided lambda <= 0, the function returns NaN.

var y = cdf( 2.0, 0.5, -1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = cdf( 2.0, 0.5, 0.0 );
// returns NaN

cdf.factory( k, lambda )

Returns a function for evaluating the cumulative distribution function of a Weibull distribution with shape parameter k and scale parameter lambda.

var mycdf = cdf.factory( 2.0, 10.0 );

var y = mycdf( 10.0 );
// returns ~0.632

y = mycdf( 8.0 );
// returns ~0.473

Examples

var uniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-uniform' );
var logEachMap = require( '@stdlib/console-log-each-map' );
var cdf = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-weibull-cdf' );

var opts = {
    'dtype': 'float64'
};
var lambda = uniform( 10, 0.0, 10.0, opts );
var k = uniform( 10, 0.0, 10.0, opts );
var x = uniform( 10, 0.0, 10.0, opts );

logEachMap( 'x: %0.4f, k: %0.4f, λ: %0.4f, F(x;k,λ): %0.4f', x, k, lambda, cdf );

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/stats/base/dists/weibull/cdf.h"

stdlib_base_dists_weibull_cdf( x, k, lambda )

Evaluates the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for a Weibull distribution with shape parameter k and scale parameter lambda.

double out = stdlib_base_dists_weibull_cdf( 2.0, 1.0, 1.0 );
// returns ~0.865

The function accepts the following arguments:

• x: [in] double input value.
• k: [in] double shape parameter.
• lambda: [in] double scale parameter.

double stdlib_base_dists_weibull_cdf( const double x, const double k, const double lambda );

Examples

#include "stdlib/stats/base/dists/weibull/cdf.h"
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

static double random_uniform( const double min, const double max ) {
    double v = (double)rand() / ( (double)RAND_MAX + 1.0 );
    return min + ( v*(max-min) );
}

int main( void ) {
    double lambda;
    double x;
    double k;
    double y;
    int i;

    for ( i = 0; i < 25; i++ ) {
        x = random_uniform( 0.0, 10.0 );
        lambda = random_uniform( 0.0, 10.0 );
        k = random_uniform( 0.0, 10.0 );
        y = stdlib_base_dists_weibull_cdf( x, k, lambda );
        printf( "x: %lf, k: %lf, λ: %lf, F(x;k,λ): %lf\n", x, k, lambda, y );
    }
}
