Hi,

I want to estimate parameter of weibull distribution using mle for below
density function,
The PDF is,
f(x) = b a^-b x^(b-1)  exp -(x/a)^b  

In R ,density of the weibull distribution is,
f(x) = (a/b) (x/b)^(a-1) exp(- (x/b)^a)

which is different from my density,

I trying to estimate mle parmeter from R using fitdistr and fitdist
functions.
Can anyone tell me whatever parameter estimated from R are correct for my
density function or not?

Thanks 
Yogendra
