ahrdiweibull function

Alternative hazard rate function

Alternative hazard rate function for the discrete inverse Weibull distribution

ahrdiweibull(x, q, beta)

Arguments

• x: a vector of values
• q: the value of the $q$ parameter
• beta: the value of the $\beta$ parameter

Returns

the value of the alternative hazard rate function in the x values

Details

The alternative hazard rate function is defined as $h(x)=\log(P(X>x-1)/P(X>x))=\log[(1-q^{(x-1)^{-\beta}})/(1-q^{x^{-\beta}})]$
