In this paper, we argue the necessity of dealing with lifetime distributions with wave-like bathtub hazard function. Four classes of wave-like bathtub hazards are investigated. For preparing maximum likelihood estimation of the hazard parameters, the first-order and second-order partial derivatives are derived.
