This note draws attention to the availability of tables of the principal renewal functions for cases in which the underlying lifetime distribution of the renewal process is gamma or Weibull with increasing hazard rate. The mathematical formulation is given, along with a description of the method of computation and an example illustrating the use of the tables.
