hgweibull: Log Hazard Function for a Generalized Weibull Process

Description

These functions provide information about the generalized Weibull distribution, also called the exponentiated Weibull, with scale parameter equal to m, shape equal to s, and family parameter equal to f: log hazard. (See `rmutil` for the d/p/q/r boxcox functions density, cumulative distribution, quantiles, and random generation).

The generalized Weibull distribution has density $$f(y)=\frac{\sigma \nu y^{\sigma -1}(1-\exp (-(y/\mu {)}^{\sigma }){)}^{\nu -1}\exp (-(y/\mu {)}^{\sigma })}{{\mu }^{\sigma }}$$

where $\mu$ is the scale parameter of the distribution, $\sigma$ is the shape, and $\nu$ is the family parameter.

$\nu =1$ gives a Weibull distribution, for $\sigma =1$, $\nu <0$ a generalized F distribution, and for $\sigma >0$, $\nu \le 0$ a Burr type XII distribution.

Usage
