Abstract

This paper presents the hazard rate functions of Weibull and Exponential Distributions. Estimates of the hazard rates were obtained using simulated HIV/AIDs data, it was found that for exponential distribution the hazard rate is constant while that of the Weibull distribution increases as the time of infection increases.
