dlinear: Linear failure rate pdf

In ActuDistns: Functions for actuarial scientists

Description

Computes the pdf of the linear failure rate distribution

Usage

dlinear(x, a = 1, b = 1)

Arguments

x	scale or vector of positive values at which the pdf needs to be computed
a	the value of a parameter, must be non-negative but both a and b cannot be zero
b	the value of b parameter, must be non-negative but both a and b cannot be zero

Value

An object of the same length as x, giving the pdf values computed at x

Note

If incorrect values are input for x or the model parameters then NaNs will be returned as the output.
