Abstract
The Weibull distribution is one of the most widely used probability distributions in statistical applications. The percentile parameter estimation method is commonly used in parameter estimation of the two-parameter Weibull distribution in terms of easy computability and efficiency. The effectiveness of the percentile method depends on the selected percentile points and chosen empirical distribution function. In this study, the appropriate empirical distribution function and percentile points were determined to increase the efficiency of the percentile method for two-parameter Weibull distribution by simulation study.

Abstract
Weibull dağılımı istatistiksel uygulamalarda en yaygın kullanılan olasılık dağılımlarından biridir. Persentil parametre tahmin yöntemi kolay hesaplanama ve etkinlik açısından iki parametreli Weibull dağılımının parametre tahmininde yaygın olarak kullanılır. Persentil yönteminin etkinliği seçilen persentil noktalara ve seçilen ampirik dağılım fonksiyonuna bağlıdır. Bu çalışmada, simülasyon çalışması ile iki parametreli Weibull dağılımı için persentil yönteminin etkinliğini artırmak amacıyla uygun ampirik dağılım fonksiyonu ve persentil noktaları belirlenmiştir.
