Abstract
- The paper by Rao and Kakehashi [1] uses the Weibull distribution (given by equation (3) in the paper) and a truncated version of it (given by equations (4) and (5)) to model HIV/AIDS data in India. After a careful reading, I have found that all of the results presented in the appendix are incorrect (starting with equation (11) itself). Instead of pointing out all of the specific errors, I have chosen to give the correct formulas (and a brief outline of their derivation) for the $r$th moment of the truncated Weibull distribution.
