Overview of Statistical Distributions

The document discusses several probability distributions used in reliability analysis including the Weibull, Gompertz, lognormal, inverse Gaussian, Lomax, linear failure rate, truncated normal, and Makeham distributions. Key properties discussed include the shapes of the hazard functions and whether the distributions belong to the increasing, decreasing, or bathtub failure rate classes.

Weibull Distribution:

Gompertz Distribution

Though generally the value of C in Gompertz is taken as greater than 1, here for illustrative purpose
different values of C is taken.
Lognormal Distribution

For lognormal hazard rate we observe that when the sd is greater than 1 the hazard rate is DFR. Though
when working with the function (-f’(t)/f(t)) we obtained the result as lognormal having UBT.

Inverse Gaussian

For both we observe that the hazard rate increases first then decreases. IT has UBT. Though for shape
less than 1, the maximum is attained very fast.
Lomax distribution:

Lomax is DFR class.

Linear Failure Rate


Truncated Normal

It has IFR.

Makeham

It has IFR
