FLCHAZ

Name:
    FLCHAZ (LET)
Type:
    Library Function
Purpose:
    Compute the Fatigue Life cumulative hazard function with shape parameter gamma.
Description:
    The Fatigue Life distribution has the following cumulative hazard function:

      H(x,gamma) = -LOG(1 - FLCDF(x,gamma)) x >= 0, gamma > 0

    where FLCDF is the Fatigue Life cumulative distribution function and gamma is the shape parameter.

Syntax:
    LET <y> = FLCHAZ(<x>,<gamma>)             <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification>
    where <x> is a non-negative variable, parameter, or number;
                  <y> is a variable or a parameter (depending on what <x> is) where the computed Fatigue Life cumulative hazard value is stored;
                  <gamma> is a positive number, parameter, or variable that defines the shape parameter;
    and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional.
Examples:
    LET A = FLCHAZ(3,10)
    LET A = FLCHAZ(A1,3)
    LET X2 = FLCHAZ(X1,GAMMA)
Note:
    The Fatigue Life distribution is symmetric and moderate tailed for small gammas. It is highly skewed and long tailed for large gamma. It approaches normality as gamma approaches zero.
