hew: Exponentiated Weibull hazard rate function

Description

Computes the hazard rate function of the exponentiated Weibull distribution

Usage

hew(x, alpha = 1, c = 1, lambda = 1)

Arguments

x

scale or vector of positive values at which the hazard rate function needs to be computed

alpha

the value of alpha parameter, must be positive

c

the value of c parameter, must be positive

lambda

the value of lambda parameter, must be positive

Value

• An object of the same length as x, giving the hazard rate function values computed at x
