The WEIBULL function in Google Sheets is a statistical tool that allows users to analyze and calculate the probability of an event occurring within a given time frame. It is commonly used in reliability and survival analysis. To use the WEIBULL function, users must input the required parameters, such as shape and scale values, and specify the desired probability or time frame. The result is a numerical value representing the probability of the event occurring within the specified time frame. This function can be useful for decision-making and forecasting in various industries, such as finance, engineering, and healthcare.
WEIBULL
Returns the value of the Weibull distribution function (or Weibull cumulative distribution function) for a specified shape and scale.
Sample Usage
WEIBULL(2.4, 2, 3, TRUE)
WEIBULL(A2,A3,A4,TRUE)
Syntax
WEIBULL(x, shape, scale, cumulative)
x– The input to the Weibull distribution function.shape– The shape parameter of the Weibull distribution function.shapeis usually denoted k, and denoted as alpha in other spreadsheet packages.shapemust be greater than0.
scale– The scale parameter of the Weibull distribution function.scaleis usually denoted lambda in texts, and denoted as beta in other spreadsheet packages.scalemust be greater than0.
cumulative–TRUEto use the cumulative distribution function,FALSEto use the probability density function.
Notes
- If
shapeis1,WEIBULLis equivalent toEXPONDISTwithlambdaset to1/scale.
