Where \(X\) is a normally distributed random variable with mean \(\mu\) and standard deviation \(\sigma\). The peak of the curve occurs at \(x=\mu\), and the spread ...

Abstract: It is argued that plots of the hazard rate for the lognormal random variable which have appeared in some recent literature are incorrect and/or misleading; the hazard rate always begins at ...
