Statistics & Probability Letters, 1999, vol. 42, issue 1, 99-105

Abstract: It is proved that within the class of scale parameter families of lifetime distributions, subject to certain regularity conditions, the Weibull family is characterized by an information version of the classical lack-of-memory property or by a related property of the Fisher information in type-I censored experiments.
