Hazard Function Calculations

Source: R/hazard_functions.R

Functions for calculating hazard functions and their relationship to Mills ratios. The hazard function h(x) = f(x)/(1-F(x)) is the reciprocal of the Mills ratio m(x).

Details

The hazard function (also called failure rate or force of mortality) represents the instantaneous rate of occurrence of an event at time x, given survival to time x.

Mathematical relationship: h(x) = 1/m(x)
