HazardFunction

The hazard function $PDF(dist, x) / SurvivalFunction(dist, x)$.

HazardFunction(dist, x)generic over every distribution this package's PDF and CDF answer, old or new.

Typed signatures

Type	Package	Applies
(distribution, list<real> | real | signed_infinity) -> real	statistics	always

Domain: Statistics

Details

• Exact wherever PDF and CDF are both exact for dist; unevaluated otherwise.
• For RayleighDistribution($\sigma$), this reduces to the well-known linear hazard $x/\sigma^2$.
