Weibull statistic is the most favorite model of mine. Not only its flexibility to mimic many natural phenomenon, it also has plenty of methods (approaches) in predicting its parameters. Yes, I do like the choices of Weibull in deciding which parameter estimation method suits with my application. In this writing, I want to show the example of Linear Regression method in predicting 2-parameters Weibull distribution. Other methods such as Maximum Likelihood or Percentile will be discussed later on.

Storing relative path in ArcGIS document project (MXD) is useful to transfer the project (and data) to another computer or CDs/DVDs.

Kjfol adalah MP3 Player (Window) favorite saya sejak saya pertama memiliki PC pertama berprosesor AMD-K62 tahun 1998 yang lalu. Saat itu saya mendengar lantunan musik menggunakan Kjofol di Pameran Komputer di Graha Sabha Pramana UGM. Satu hal yang sangat menarik saya adalah suara bass yang mantap.

Bahasa Inggris (English) sudah menjadi bahasa dunia. Kita yang berada di era globalisasi ini lebih baik mengerti bahasa ini daripada tidak.
