Abstract
We present a FORTRAN program for point and interval maximum likelihood parameter estimation for the two-parameter Weibull distribution for m ultiply-censored data, singly-censored data with Type I or Type II cen soring, and complete data. The program may be used for the three-param eter Weibull if the threshold parameter is estimated separately. Examp les are presented for the three censoring cases.
