_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     How to define scale parameters of the Weibull distribution in the
     poly-k-setting

_U_s_a_g_e:

     scalechoice(shape = 3, pm = 0.2, t = 1)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

   shape: shape parameter (usually shape=3) 

      pm: a numeric value (0<p<1), probability that an individual dies
          before time t 

       t: a numeric value, time t 

_V_a_l_u_e:

     a single numeric value, giving the scale parameter needed to
     fulfill pm(t) for the current definition of the Weibull
     disstribution.

_N_o_t_e:

     Scale parameter is defined differently than that in Peddada (2005)
