ab: Summary: We consider the suggestion that the shape of a hazard rate can be
    predicted from the quasi-stationary distribution of the process, and
    demonstrate that this hypothesis requires specific conditions, and both
    eliminate and suggest methods by means of which these predictions might
    be made.
