Vose Exponential Lifetime Distribution

Format: LifetimeExp(a,b,c)

 

The Exponential Lifetime distribution is a lifetime distribution with an instantaneous failure rate given by:

          

               



Uses

The Exponential LifetimeExp distribution is useful for modelling the lifetime of a device where the instantaneous failure rate increases more dramatically over time than linearly.

Comments

The two-parameter lifetime distribution was first developed by the risk analyst, David Vose.
