hew: Exponentiated Weibull hazard rate function

In ActuDistns: Functions for actuarial scientists

Description

Computes the hazard rate function of the exponentiated Weibull distribution

Usage

hew(x, alpha = 1, c = 1, lambda = 1)

Arguments

x	scale or vector of positive values at which the hazard rate function needs to be computed
alpha	the value of alpha parameter, must be positive
c	the value of c parameter, must be positive
lambda	the value of lambda 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. This function uses the R contributed package reliaR.
