Tailweight and life distributions

J. Averous and M. Meste

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1989, vol. 8, issue 4, 381-387

Abstract: We use the concept of s-tailweight to classify the usual life distribution classes. This methodology allows us to define new classes and to characterize the NBUE class by comparison between the initial distribution and the exponential one.
