PARAMETER ESTIMATION BASED ON MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATION METHOD FOR WEIBULL DISTRIBUTION USING DRAGONFLY ALGORITHM

Three-parameter (3-p) Weibull distribution is commonly used in sciences such as engineering, reliability, and renewable energy. Thus, a great number of studies have been conducted on the estimation for parameters this distribution. One mostly utilized methods estimating unknown related literature Maximum likelihood (ML) method. In study, population-based novel heuristic method proposed to use Dragonfly Algorithm (DA) obtaining Likelihood estimates three-parameter Inspired by static dynamic swarming behavior dragonflies nature, algorithm has introduced. These behaviors ensure that high exploration exploitation. An extensive Monte-Carlo simulation study show performance DA. Furthermore, DA compared with other algorithms well known literature. Finally, real data set analyzed applicability ML based
