hlinear: Linear failure rate hazard rate function

Description

Computes the hazard rate function of the linear failure rate distribution

Usage

hlinear(x, a = 1, b = 1)

Arguments

x

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

a

the value of a parameter, must be non-negative but both a and b cannot be zero

b

the value of b parameter, must be non-negative but both a and b cannot be zero

Value

x, giving the hazard rate function values computed at x
