Characterizations of the Exponential Distribution by Relevation Type Equations.

Abstract

In this note two characterizations of the exponential distribution are discussed, based on a generalization of the lack of memory property. These results were motivated by the notion of 'relevation of distributions' introduced by Krakowski (1973). (Author)
