- Abstract
In this paper, we study two sectional models, each involving two Weibull distributions. Characterization of the plot on Weibull plotting paper (WPP) for each model is carried out. We also study the shapes of the probability density and the failure rate functions. These are useful in determining if a given failure data set can be modeled by such a model. We discuss the estimation of model parameters based on the WPP plot and illustrate through two examples involving real data.
