We illustrate how to use JMP with the cord strength data found in
Statistical Analysis of Reliability Data.. (1991) M. J. Crowder, A. C. Kimber, R. L. Smith, and T. J. Sweeting. Chapman and Hall
Before doing this tutorial make sure you have completed the following JMP tutorial:
Import into JMP the cord strength data:
(Instructions for importing a text file into JMP)
One can get the MLEs of the Weibull and the Gumbel parameters by doing a Weibull plot and selecting "Estimate Weibull Parameters" from the triangle menu:
To use JMP's Nonlinear Fit platform to calculate the MLEs use the JMP calculator to create a new column called "loss":
Then proceed as in
Using JMP's Nonlinear Platform to Calculate MLEs: Exponential Case
to get:
