Is there a likelihod function for the Weibull distribution in 'R'? I found the following reference:
http://www.weibull.com/LifeDataWeb/weibull_log_likelihood_functions_and_their_partials.htm
But I had a hard time understanding the parameters required Particularly 'number of groups of times-to-failure data points", "number of groups of suspension data points", and "number of interval failure data groups".
Maybe if there is a likelihood function within 'R' the documentation will be a little better and contain some examples.
I would like the likelihood function for some Bayesian inference and the Weibull distribution seems to closely resemble my prior data distribution.
Thank you.
Kevin
