title: Fitting a 3 parameter Weibull distribution
body: <p>I have been doing some data analysis in R and I am trying to figure out how to fit my data to a 3 parameter Weibull distribution. I found how to do it with a 2 parameter Weibull but have come up short in finding how to do it with a 3 parameter. </p>
  
  <p>Here is how I fit the data using the <code>fitdistr</code> function from the <code>MASS</code> package:</p>
  
  <pre><code>y &lt;- fitdistr(x[[6]], 'weibull')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>x[[6]]</code> is a subset of my data and y is where I am storing the result of the fitting.</p>
