weibullization
Etymology
From Weibull + -ization.
noun
- The operation of adding an extra parameter to the exponent of a density or distribution function.“All that Waloddi Weibull, a Swedish physicist, did in his pioneering reports No.'s 151 and 153 for the Engineering Academy in 1939 was to add a “small a” to the c.d.f. of the exponential distribution, and what a difference it did cause! Nowadays we refer to this operation as Weibullization.”
