LS uses the method of Least Squares to estimate
the 2 parameters of a Weibull distribution of a
complete data set or low tail fit.
Resistance is regressed on median rank.
See ASTM D5457 Section X2, (X2.5), (X2.6)
ML uses the method of Maximum Likelihood to
estimate the 2 parameters of a Weibull distribution of a complete
data set or low tail fit.
See ASTM D5457 Section X2, (X2.2), (X2.3)
Parameter estimation for lower tail data require minimum
failed observations. For sample sizes of n = 600 or less,
60 = nc with the suspended value rs = r[60].
For sample sizes of 600 < n,
(0.1 • n) = nc with the suspended value
rs = r[0.1 • n].
See ASTM D5457 Sections A1.2.2, X2
MSE Σd2/nc is the Mean Squared
Error. MSE measures the average of the squares of
the errors; that is, the difference between
the estimated resistance and observed data.
Ω(R05|75%) is a data confidence factor on
R05, the fifth percentile, with 75% confidence.
See ASTM D5457 Section A1.5
