hmakehambeard: Makeham-Beard hazard rate function

In ActuDistns: Functions for actuarial scientists

Description

Computes the hazard rate function of the Makeham-Beard distribution

Usage

hmakehambeard(x, alpha = 1, beta = 1, rho = 1, epsilon = 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
beta	the value of beta parameter, must be positive
rho	the value of rho parameter, must be positive
epsilon	the value of epsilon 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.
