Weibull Distribution and the Shape Parameter β

Weibull is the working distribution of electrical reliability because its shape parameter β reads directly as a bathtub region: β below 1 is infant mortality, β near 1 is the constant-rate region, β above 1 is wear-out. Fitting β to field returns is how a team learns which failure regime it is in without guessing.
