wbl_LRT.m

Description

The Matlab function wbl_LRT.m compares n distributions of data using a likelihood-ratio test, based on the maximum-likelihood values of a Weibull distribution fit to the input data. Details on the test are in Appendix B, and details on how the function works are found in readme.txt. A stand-alone executable version of the function is available on the author's web site: http://webpages.uidaho.edu/phiguera/ or from the author upon request.
