It seems more likely that Yassir wants to calculate theoretical hazard and cumulative hazards functions (as he knows how to "program it") for a given distribution, and then the answer is 'No there are no such functions'. But, taking the Weibull distribution as an example, they are easily calculated using 'pweibull' and 'dweibull': 1. From ?pweibull: The cumulative hazard H(t) = - log(1 - F(t)) is '-pweibull(t, a, b, lower = FALSE, log = TRUE)' 2. The hazard function hweibull itself can be given by hweibull <- function(t, shape, scale = 1) dweibull(t, shape, scale) / pweibull(t, shape, scale, lower.tail = FALSE) 'hweibull', as defined here, is not the numerically optimal solution, but the formula has the advantage of working for any distribution. > 2.
