Weibull probability distribution (for minima)

This is the same distribution as:

• scipy.stats.weibull_min;

• numpy.random.Generator.weibull (restricted to loc=0 and scale=1);

• Wolfram Alpha’s WeibullDistribution;

• the distribution discussed in the wikipedia article “Weibull distribution” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weibull_distribution);

• the Weibull distribution in the text “Statistical Distribution” (fourth ed.) by Forbes, Evans, Hastings and Peacock (Wiley, 2011).

This is the same distributions as weibull_max, but with x replaced by -x. The weibull_max distribution is the same distribution as:

• scipy.stats.weibull_max;

• the Type III extreme value distribution used in the text “An Introduction to Statistical Modeling of Extreme Values” by Stuart Coles (Springer, 2001);

• the Weibull distribution given in the text “Modelling Extremal Events” by Embrechts, Klüppelberg and Mikosch (Springer, 1997).
