PLNHAZ

PLNHAZ (LET)

Library Function

Compute the standard power-lognormal hazard function.

The standard power-lognormal distribution has the following hazard function:

where is a shape parameter, p is a shape (power) parameter, and and are the cumulative distribution function and the probability density function for the standard normal distribution respectively.

The hazard function for the power-lognormal distribution is a multiple (p) of the hazard function of the lognormal distribution.

If p is 1, this distribution reduces to the lognormal distribution.

LET <y> = PLNHAZ(<x>,<p>,<s>)        <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification>
where <x> is a non-negative number, parameter, or variable;
              <p> is a positive number, parameter, or variable that specifies the power parameter;
              <s> is an optional positive number, parameter, or variable that specifies the shape parameter;
              <y> is a variable or a parameter (depending on what <y1> is) where the computed power-lognormal hazard value is stored;
and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional.

If the <s> parameter is omitted, it defaults to 1.

LET A = PLNHAZ(3,2,1)
LET X2 = PLNHAZ(X1,POW,SD)
LET X2 = PLNHAZ(X1,0.5,0.5)

The general power-lognormal hazard function can be expressed in terms of the standard power-lognormal hazard function as follows:

where loc and scale are the location and scales parameters, respectively.
