I am trying run the code above. 1t gives an error message:

Syntax::tsntxi: "[(1-(1-Exp[-(w1/λ1)^k1]))^-δ+(1+(1-Exp[-(w2/λ2)^k2]))^-δ]" is incomplete; more input is needed.

I checked for a syntax error but there isn't any. Formula used is also correct, so what can be the problem?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:

• "This question arises due to a simple mistake such as a trivial syntax error, incorrect capitalization, spelling mistake, or other typographical error and is unlikely to help any future visitors, or else it is easily found in the documentation." – m_goldberg, Szabolcs, chuy, J.

• "i checked for syntax error but there isn't." - did you carefully look at the syntax highlighting and notice any pink delimiters (parentheses, brackets)? – J. M. will be back soon Aug 12 '15 at 13:57
• Your definition of F clearly has syntax errors. – m_goldberg Aug 12 '15 at 14:12
• Square brackets are (to first order) strictly for function calls and for Part extraction when they appear in pairs. Curly brackets are strictly for Lists. – Patrick Stevens Aug 12 '15 at 14:27
