Given your earlier posts I am guessing that you have no slope at all.
All you got is a constant and a shape parameter. The shape is
parameterized differently in the weibull and the log logistic, so it is
very hard to compare them. Just comparing the numerical values of these
paramterers is completely misleading, the numbers could be completely
different and still convey very similar substantive information, or
vice versa.
We may be able to give you more helpful advise if you tell us exactly
what you typed, which parameters you are comparing (neither log
logistic or the weibull report an alpha or a beta) and what you want to
use those parameters for.
