Abstract: In this paper, we discuss different estimators of the records Weibull distributionparameters and also we apply the Kullback-Leibler divergence of survival function methodto estimate record Weibull parameters. Finally, these methods have been compared usingMonte Carlo simulation.

Keywords: Weibull distribution; upper record; entropy; parameter estimation; simulation
