dist_mileage: Parameter Estimation of the Mileage Distribution

Description

This function introduces a random variable of annual mileage using the units in the sample that had a failure and afterwards estimates the parameter(s) of a supposed distribution, using MLE.

Usage

dist_mileage(x, event, mileage, distribution = "lognormal")

Arguments

x

a numeric vector of operating times. If not available use NA.

event

a vector of binary data (0 or 1) indicating whether unit i is a right censored observation (= 0) or a failure (= 1).

mileage

a numeric vector of driven distances. If not available use NA.

distribution

supposed distribution of the random variable. The default value is "lognormal". So far no other distribution is implemented.

Value

A named vector of estimated parameters for the specified mileage distribution.
