#REDIRECT [[The_Exponential_Distribution#The_Exponential_Failure_Rate_Function]]
The exponential failure rate function is:
 
::<math>\lambda (T)=\frac{f(T)}{R(T)}=\frac{\lambda {{e}^{-\lambda (T-\gamma )}}}{{{e}^{-\lambda (T-\gamma )}}}=\lambda =\text{constant}</math>
 
 
Once again, note that the constant failure rate is a characteristic of the exponential distribution, and special cases of other distributions only. Most other distributions have failure rates that are functions of time.
