How to solve for Weibull distribution parameters using Excel's Solver?
Thank you for replying Ray, I appreciate it. Here's how I ended up solving the problem. The Weibull distribution has a VaR(p) formula, which is the "Value at Risk"; essentially it directly translates into the X value of the distribution that corresponds to a percentile for the distribution...- Iwicka
