Properties of Moment Estimators For the 3-Parameter Weibull Distribution

This paper gives a method of constructing moment estimators for the shape, scale, and location parameters of the 3-parameter Weibull distribution. These estimators are asymptotically s-normally distributed around the population values; the asymptotic covariance matrix is obtained. The estimators and their estimated covariance matrix can be constructed by using tables in the paper; the covariance matrix can then be used to construct s-confidence regions for the estimators.
