“…If it is believed that these requirements can be fulfilled, then the issue of statistical mimicking is irrelevant. However, while we agree that it might be theoretically possible to avoid the problem of statistical mimicking by simply collecting enough data points, in practice it may not be feasible.To attempt to circumvent the necessity of collecting extraordinarily large numbers of observations, many researchers have advocated the use of the hazard function (the ratio of the density to one minus the distribution function) to discriminate between different distributions (e.g., Balakrishnan & Ashby, 1992;Bloxom, 1984Bloxom, , 1985Burbeck & Luce, 1982;Luce, 1986). The hazard function gives the likelihood that, for a particular point in…”

“…Therefore, the tail of an empirical hazard function is generally quite unstable. The number of observations required to make the estimates ofthese tails stable is another question that we will not address here (but see Bloxom, 1984Bloxom, , 1985. …”

“…THE MODEL Spline functions have been applied in many areas of statistics, including density estimation, time series, and hazard function estimation (Wegman and Wright, 1983). Bloxom (1985) and Whittemore and Keller (1986) propose the use of spline functions to estimate hazard functions in a homogeneous setting ignoring covariables. Bloxom approximates the hazard function using a quadratic spline with knots placed a t each decile of the observed failure times.…”
