This function returns a random variate from the Weibull distribution. The distribution function is,
p(x) dx = {b \over a^b} x^{b-1} \exp(-(x/a)^b) dxfor x >= 0.
This function computes the probability density p(x) at x for a Weibull distribution with scale a and exponent b, using the formula given above.
These functions compute the cumulative distribution functions P(x), Q(x) and their inverses for the Weibull distribution with scale a and exponent b.
