Weibull-Type Incubation Period and Time of Exposure Using <i>γ</i>-Divergence by Daisuke Yoneoka, Takayuki Kawashima, Yuta Tanoue, Shuhei Nomura, Akifumi Eguchi

“…To address this challenge, we introduce a robust estimation framework based on a three-parameter Weibull distribution in which the location parameter naturally corresponds to the unknown exposure time. Our method employs a <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>γ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-divergence criterion—a robust generalization of the standard cross-entropy criterion—optimized via a tailored majorization–minimization (MM) algorithm designed to guarantee a monotonic decrease in the objective function despite the non-convexity typically present in robust formulations. …”
