Subject: Weibull distribution
In-Reply-To: <A5722AA0260E414D945649DED23EDF8E01B41F5F@TDASN140.tedrive.org>

Doing a search on:
weibull and "probability plot" ,,,,along with...  r-help


in Google produced this reply which I think gives a worked example  
that fits some of your hopes.

I am not sure what the B<N>'s are however. If they are quantiles. I am  
not sure how meaningful a 95th quantile estimate would be for a sample  
with only 6 instances.
