TABLES OF BOUNDS FOR DISTRIBUTIONS WITH MONOTONE HAZARD RATE,
Abstract
A number of bounds for distributions with monotone hazard rate are presented in a form convenient for applications. These bounds, to gether with their proofs and various generaliza tions have been obtained by Barlow and Marshall (1963). However, many of them can be character ized only through solutions of transcendental equations, and machine calculation has been necessary to make them accessible. A listing of the results is given and those without ex plicit forms are tabulated. Various related bounds are listed which are of interest for purposes of comparison, and for use when the hypothesis of monotone hazard rate is bot satisfied. Applications of the bounds are dis cussed together with some numerical examples. (Author)
