Let T be a nonnegative random variable that represents the failure time of an individual from a homogeneous superpopulation. The survival distribution function (also known as the survivor function) of T is written as
![\[ S(t)=\mr {Pr}(T \geq t) \]](images/statug_surveyphreg0057.png){kind=small}
A mathematically equivalent way of specifying the distribution of T is through its hazard function. The hazard function 
specifies the instantaneous failure rate at t. If T is a continuous random variable, is expressed as
![\[ \lambda (t)= \lim _{\Delta t \rightarrow 0^{+} } \frac{ \mr {Pr}(t \leq T < t + \Delta t\ |\ T \geq t) }{ \Delta t } = \frac{f(t)}{S(t)} \]](images/statug_surveyphreg0059.png){kind=small}
where 
is the probability density function of T.
