Newton-Raphson's method plays a fundamental role in the maximum likelihood estimation of the two parameters of the Weibull probability distribution. It is well known that the method depends on the initial point of the iterative process and the iteration does not always converge. In the present art
Maximum likelihood estimation for the parameters in the three-parameter Weibull distribution needs an initial value in the iteration scheme for likelihood equations. In certain cases, maximum likelihood estimation can break down for the three-parameter Weibull model, as no local maximum of the likel
