Weibull in the Exponential family?
Hello Odometer! I find myself unable to follow the advice to 'work out A for yourself'. Do you have a reference that puts Weibull in the exponential family? I found my own library research on this topic to be fruitless. The Weibull book was practical and didn't care about exponential families, the exponential family books were nice and abstract and didn't bother with any practical details. With no reference, I think any mathematical argument would be original research. If it's actually a well-known fact that Weibull is in the family, somebody should have written that down. If it's hard to cite, maybe the article can live without that bit of information. EdJohnston 04:07, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
