GGDCHAZ

Name:
    GGDCHAZ (LET)
Type:
    Library Function
Purpose:
    Compute the standard form of the generalized gamma cumulative hazard function.
Description:
    The standard form of the generalized gamma distribution has the following cumulative hazard function:

      H(x,k,c) =-LOG[1 - GGDCDF(x,k,c))  x, k > 0,  c <> 0

    where k and c are shape parameters and GGDCDF is the cumulative distribution function of the generalized gamma distribution.

Syntax:
    LET <y> = GGDCHAZ(<x>,<k>,<c>)             <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification>
    where <x> is a positive number, parameter, or a variable;
                <y> is a variable or a parameter (depending on what <x> is) where the computed generalized gamma cumulative hazard value is saved;
                <k> is a positive number, parameter, or variable that specifies the first shape parameter;
                <c> is a non-zero number, parameter, or variable that specifies the second shape parameter;
    and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional.
Examples:
    LET A = GGDCHAZ(3,1.5.0.6)
    LET X2 = GGDCHAZ(X1,GAMMA,POWER)
Note:
    If c is 1, this distribution reduces to the standard gamma distribution. If k is 1, this distribution reduces to a Weibull distribution. If k =1/2 and c = 2, it reduces to a half-normal distribution. Several other common distributions are special cases of the generalized gamma distribution.

    The second shape parameter can be negative (but not zero). Specifically, if c = -1, the generalized gamma reduces to the inverted gamma distribution.
