Extreme Points of the Class of Discrete Decreasing Failure Rate Life Distributions.

Abstract

We show that the class of discrete decreasing failure rate (DFR) life distributions is a convex class. We then obtain the extreme points of this class. Finally we show how to represent any discrete DFR distribution as a mixture of these extreme points. (Author)
