Distribution
```
public class WeibullDist
extends ContinuousDistribution
```
This class extends the class ContinuousDistribution for the Weibull distribution with shape parameter α > 0, location parameter δ, and scale parameter λ > 0. The density function is

f (x) = αλ^α(x - δ)^α-1e^{-(λ(x-δ))^α}        for x > δ.
the distribution function is

F(x) = 1 - e^{-(λ(x-δ))^α}        for x > δ,
and the inverse distribution function is

F^-1(u) = (- ln(1 - u))^1/α/λ + δ        for 0 <= u < 1.
