Abstract
Discrete distributions with bathtub shaped hazard rates have recently become of interest in reliability modelling and analysis. In the present work, we address the problem of obtaining distributions having such hazard rates when the lifetime is discrete. The methods considered here include discretising continuous bathtub models, construction using the score function, construction from decreasing hazard rate distributions and some other methods currently available in the continuous case. We discuss properties and applications of the discretised quadratic hazard model which has a bathtub shaped hazard rate. Keywords: Bathtub hazard rate, Discrete distribution, Quadratic hazard model, Score function, Upside down bathtub hazard rate
期刊介绍：
The journal will publish innovative contributions to the theory and application of statistics. Authoritative review articles on topics of general interest which are not readily accessible in a coherent form, will be also be considered for publication. Articles on applications or of a general nature will be published in separate sections and an author should indicate which of these sections an article is intended for. An applications article should normally consist of the analysis of actual data and need not necessarily contain new theory. The data should be made available with the article but need not necessarily be part of it.
