hgamma: Hazard Functions for Some Common Duration Distributions

In STAR: Spike Train Analysis with R

Description

Hazard functions for the gamma, weibull, lognormal, inverse Gaussian, log logistic and refractory exponential distributions

Usage

hgamma(x, shape, rate = 1, scale = 1/rate, log = FALSE)
hweibull(x, shape, scale = 1, log = FALSE)
hlnorm(x, meanlog = 0, sdlog = 1, log = FALSE)
hinvgauss(x, mu = 1, sigma2 = 1, boundary = NULL,
          log = FALSE)
hllogis(x, location = 0, scale = 1, log = FALSE)
hrexp(x, rate = 10, rp = 0.005, log = FALSE)

Arguments

x	vector of quantiles.
shape, scale, rate, sdlog	strictly positive parameters. See corresponding distributions for detail.
mu, sigma2, boundary	parameters associated with the inverse Gaussian distribution.
meanlog	parameter associated with the log normal distribution.
location, rp	parameters of the log logistic and refratory exponential.
log	should the log hazard be returned? FALSE by default.

Details

These functions are simply obtained by deviding the density by the survival fucntion.

Value

A vector of hazard rates.
