The Normal Failure Rate Function

The instantaneous normal failure rate is given by:

[math]\displaystyle{ \lambda (t)=\frac{f(t)}{R(t)}=\frac{\tfrac{1}{{{\sigma }}\sqrt{2\pi }}{{e}^{-\tfrac{1}{2}{{\left( \tfrac{t-\mu }{{{\sigma }}} \right)}^{2}}}}}{\int_{t}^{\infty }\tfrac{1}{{{\sigma }}\sqrt{2\pi }}{{e}^{-\tfrac{1}{2}{{\left( \tfrac{x-\mu }{{{\sigma }}} \right)}^{2}}}}dx} }[/math]
