The likelihood function describes how closely a probability distribution describes a data set. This application will demonstrate how to:

• Generate a data set according to a Weibull distribution with a specified scale and shape parameter.
• Backsolve the scale and shape parameters for this data set by maximising the likelihood function for a Weibull distribution using the Global Optimization Toolbox.
• Compare the resulting probability distribution against a histogram of the data set.
