hbeta: Beta hazard rate function

In ActuDistns: Functions for actuarial scientists

Description

Computes the hazard rate function of the beta distribution

Usage

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

Arguments

x	scale or vector of values at which the hazard rate function needs to be computed, values must be in the unit interval
a	the value of a parameter, must be positive
b	the value of b parameter, must be positive

Value

An object of the same length as x, giving the hazard rate function values computed at x

Note

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