dbs {bs} | R Documentation |
Probability density function for the BSD with shape parameter alpha and scale parameter beta.
dbs(x, alpha = 1, beta = 1, log = FALSE)
x |
Vector of quantiles. |
alpha |
Shape parameter. |
beta |
Scale parameter. |
log |
Logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p). |
Birnbaum and Saunders (1969) proposed the two-parameter Birnbaum-Saunders distribution with density
f_{T}(t) = frac{1}{sqrt{2π}} exp<=ft[-frac{1}{2α^{2}} (frac{t}{β}+frac{β}{t}-2) right] frac{t^{-frac{3}{2}} (t+β)}{2αsqrt{β}}; t>0, α > 0, β > 0,
as a failure time distribution for fatigue failure caused under cyclic loading. The parameters alpha and beta are the shape and the scale parameters, respectively. In their derivation, it was assumed that the failure is due to the development and growth of a dominant crack.
