HAZARD ANALYSIS

Abstract

The hazard or conditional failure h(x) equals f(x)/(1-F(x)) of a life-distribution which has the same role in reliability studies as the spectral density-function in stationary time series analysis is studied. There are many situations where the most revealing analysis of the data is the non-parametric estimation of h(x). The study of this approach to reliability is examined. (Author)
