Weibull

By Tangotiger, 02:46 PM

I always thought that the Tango Distribution was something that was already invented. It seems that it must be a form of the Weibull Distribution. Hopefully, one of you with some time on your hands can do the comparison, and perhaps finally make me retire the poorly named Tango Distribution.

"Think of this place as something like a college classroom. We’re in charge, we pick the topics, we set the rules, and we try to foster as much intelligent discourse as possible. If this isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other sites out there for you to try—we're not going to be for everybody, and we're not going to try to appeal to the masses." —USSM
