public class WeibullDistribution
extends ContinuousDistribution

Weibull Distribution

Meaning:	The Weibull distribution is often used to model internet traffic because of its heavy tail.
Parameters:	shape parameter \(\alpha > 0\) scale parameter \(\beta > 0\)
PDF:	\(P(T=t) = f(t) = \alpha \cdot \beta^{-\alpha} \cdot t^{\alpha -1} \cdot exp(-(\frac{t}{\beta})^{\alpha}) \mbox{ for } t>0 \)
DF:	\(P(T \le t) = F(t) = 1- exp(-(\frac{t}{\beta})^{\alpha}) \mbox{ for } t>0\)
Expected value:	\(E[T]= \frac{\beta}{\alpha} \cdot \Gamma(\frac{1}{\alpha}\), whereas \(\Gamma(x)\) is the gamma function
Variance:	\(VAR[T]= \frac{\beta^2}{\alpha} \cdot \left\{ 2\Gamma(\frac{2}{\alpha}) - \frac{1}{\alpha} \cdot \Gamma(\frac{1}{\alpha})^2 \right\} \)
Coefficient of variation:	\(c_T= \sqrt{\frac{2\alpha\Gamma(\frac{2}{\alpha})}{(\Gamma(\frac{1}{\alpha}))^2} -1}\)
Parser example:	[...].Distribution = Weibull [...].Distribution.Alpha = 0.3 [...].Distribution.Beta = 0.03
