weibull — Weibull distribution random number generator (positive values only).
Weibull distribution random number generator (positive values only). This is an x-class noise generator
ksigma -- scales the spread of the distribution.
ktau -- if greater than one, numbers near ksigma are favored. If smaller than one, small values are favored. If t equals 1, the distribution is exponential. Outputs only positive numbers.
For more detailed explanation of these distributions, see:

Here is an example of the weibull opcode. It uses the file weibull.csd.
