The Weibull distribution is a very popular distribution. It is called after Waladdi Weibull, a Swedish physicist. He used it in 1939 to analyze the breaking strength of materials. Since then it has been widely used for modelling phenomena with monotone failure rates. It is not useful for modelling phenomena with non monotone failure rates. The Weibull distribution has been shown to be useful fo...

In recent years, the Weibull distribution has been commonly used and recommended to model the wind speed. Therefore, many estimators have been proposed to find the best method to estimate the parameters of the Weibull distribution. Particularly, the estimator based on regression procedures with the Weibull probability plot are often used because of its computational simplicity and graphical pre...

The consequences of Maternal Mortality (MM) cannot be overemphasized. It inhibits population growth resulting into loss of lives among others. This work tends to obtain the maternal mortality rates (MMR) in Nigeria, identify some fitted distributions to MMR and determine which of the distributions best fits the data. A comprehensive Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) was carried on MM and the MMRs...
