Stochastic Ordering and a Class of Multivariate New Better Than Used Distributions.

Abstract

A new characterization for the univariate class of new better than used (NBU) distributions in terms of stochastic ordering is introduced. A multivariage version of this characterization is then used to define a multivariate class of NBU distributions. Basic properties of this class are derived. Comparison and relationships of this new class with earlier classes are developed. Two multivariate new worse than used (NMW) classes of life distributions are defined and compared and their basic properties are studied. (Author)
