Hi,
I'm trying to find the two parameters of the Weibull distribution in
the case of parametric survival model. S-Plus "survReg" function returns an
intercept
(say a) and a scale parameter (say b).
Am I wrong if I say that:
1. the shape parameter of the initial Weibull distribution is 1/b,
2. the scale parameter of the initial Weibull distribution is
exp(-a/b)?
Thank you for your help,
Tristan
