Sensitivity analysis of parameter estimates using the scaled Weibull function for exemplary 14 cancer types. Whereas the estimates P c for the cell population at risk and the scale parameter λ c can vary over two order of magnitude, the estimates of the shape parameter k c are within about ±1. Notice that the shape parameter allows interpretation as the number of limiting events.
