====================================================
Fitting the parameters of a statistical distribution
====================================================
This simple example shows how to fit the parameters of a
statistical distribution given
- a series of experimental data,
- priors for the parameters.
The statistical distribution chosen here is the Weibull
distribution, but the same can be done for any other
distribution.

"""
First, we will create a fake data set using some
fixed parameters. In real life, of course, you
already have the data !
"""
alpha = 3
beta = 5
N = 100
dataset = rweibull(alpha, beta, N)
"""
Now we create a pymc model that defines the likelihood
of the data set and prior assumptions about the value
of the parameters.
