Why does:

(shape/scale) * (1:365/scale)^(shape - 1)

return a vector of numbers but calling a function

hasard(1:365,shape,scale)

defined like:

hazard <- function(x,shape,scale)
{
  return (shape/scale) * (x/scale)^(shape - 1)
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

return() is a function, its argument is returned, everything afterwards is ignored. And shape/scalar is probably a scalar in your case...

So either change to

    return((shape/scale) * (x/scale)^(shape - 1))

or simply

           (shape/scale) * (x/scale)^(shape - 1)

without explicitely calling return().

}

Only return a single value? It is like x becomes a single value passed as an 
argument.

Thank you.
