hazardFun {gamlss.dist} | R Documentation

## Hazard functions for gamlss.family distributions

### Description

The function `hazardFun()` takes as an argument a `gamlss.family` object and creates the hazard function for it. The function `gen.hazard()` generates a hazard function called `hNAME` where `NAME` is a `gamlss.family` i.e. `hGA()`.

### Usage

    hazardFun(family = "NO", ...)
    gen.hazard(family = "NO", ...)

### Arguments

`family` | a `gamlss.family` object
`...` | for passing extra arguments

### Value

A hazard function.
