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

Abstract

It is shown that the class of discrete decreasing failure rate average (discrete DFRA) life distributions is a convex set. The extreme points of this class is then obtained. Finally this report shows how to represent any discrete DFRA life distribution as a mixture of these extreme points.
