Multivariate Distributions in Reliability Theory and Life Testing.
Abstract
Multivariate parametric distributions which are of interest in reliability theory and life testing are discussed. These include distributions with exponential, Weibull and gamma univariate marginal distributions. Other distributions of interest are the multivariate nonparametric distributions whose marginals have increasing failure rates (IFR), increasing failure rate averages (IFRA), are new better than used (NBU) or new better than used in expectation (NBUE). Also mentioned are univariate and multivariate processes which have associated with the distributions in the various nonparametric classes mentioned above. (Author)
