A Note on the Cumulative and the Accumulated Hazard Function

In probability and statistics, reliability theory and survival analysis, there exists a 20-year-old dilemma, initially raised by L.M. Leemis, on whether the cumulative or the accumulated hazard function in the discrete domain is more appropriate to be used in various types of applications. Here, we propose that priority should be given to the accumulated hazard function.
