Add Weibull beta to Fit Life by X output (additionally to sigma)

In Fit Life by X currently only sigma = 1/beta is reported in the Weibull results (see Devalt example data below). For users familiar with the Life Distribution platform who then start using Fit Life by X, this makes it hard to read and to compare. With the Weibull distribution everybody's looking for a beta.

 

If you could add a hint that exp(mu) = Weibull alpha, that would also be very helpful.

This wish is similar, but refers to the Lognormal distribution in Life Distribution - Compare Groups:
