Abstract

In this letter, a highly accurate approximate approach for the sum of arbitrary correlated Weibull random variables is proposed. Specifically, closed-form approximate expressions for the probability density function, cumulative distribution function, and moment generating function are derived, and their accuracies are corroborated through Monte Carlo simulations for several representative examples.
