The exponential distribution is commonly used for components or systems exhibiting a constant failure rate. It is defined in its most general case by: <br>
 
::<span class="texhtml">''f''(''t'') = λ''e''<sup> − λ(''t'' − γ)</sup></span>
 
with two parameters, namely <span class="texhtml">λ</span> and <span class="texhtml">γ</span>&nbsp;(this form is also known as the two-parameter exponential). If the location parameter, <span class="texhtml">γ</span>, is assumed to be zero, then the&nbsp;distribution&nbsp;becomes the one-parameter exponential or, <br>
 
::<span class="texhtml">''f''(''t'') = λ''e''<sup> − λ''t''</sup></span>
 
The exponential distribution and its characteristics are presented in [[The Exponential Distribution|The Exponential Distribution]].
