[R] Weibull distribution

[David Winsemius]

Doing a search on:
weibull and "probability plot" ,,,,along with...  r-help


in Google produced this reply which I think gives a worked example  
that fits some of your hopes.

I am not sure what the B<N>'s are however. If they are quantiles. I am  
not sure how meaningful a 95th quantile estimate would be for a sample  
with only 6 instances.
