Example

To generate a large number of variates from the empirical distribution

function for repair time data, we first compute the slopes of the five line

segments.

• If R1 = 0,83, then x1 = x5 + a5(R1 - r5) = 1.5 + 1.47(0.83 - 0.66)
  
  X1 = 1.75
  
  If R2 = 0.33, then x2 = x2 + a2(R2 - r2) = 0.6
