hlaplace: Log Hazard Function for a Laplace Process

In event: Event History Procedures and Models

Description

These functions provide information about the Laplace distribution with location parameter equal to m and dispersion equal to s: log hazard. (See 'rmutil' for the d/p/q/r boxcox functions density, cumulative distribution, quantiles, and random generation).

The Laplace distribution has density

f(y) = exp(-abs(y-m)/s)/(2*s)

where m is the location parameter of the distribution and s is the dispersion.

Usage

hlaplace(y, m=0, s=1)

Arguments

y	vector of responses.
m	vector of location parameters.
s	vector of dispersion parameters.
