ALPHAZName:
with denoting the shape parameter and where
= the standard normal cumulative distribution function = the standard normal probability density function This distribution can be generalized with location and scale parameters using the relation
This distribution has application in reliability.
<SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> where <x> is a number, parameter, or variable containing positive values; <y> is a variable or a parameter (depending on what <x> is) where the computed alpha hazard value is stored; <alpha> is a positive number, parameter, or variable that specifies the shape parameter; <loc> is a number, parameter, or variable that specifies the location parameter; <scale> is a positive number, parameter, or variable that specifies the scale parameter; and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional. If <loc> and <scale> are omitted, they default to 0 and 1, respectively.

This was done since BETA is in fact a scale parameter.
