The class of mifra lifetimes and its relation to other classes

Henry W. Block and Thomas H. Savits

Naval Research Logistics Quarterly, 1982, vol. 29, issue 1, 55-61

Abstract: In a previous paper, the authors have introduced a class of multivariate lifetimes (MIFRA) which generalize the univariate lifetimes with increasing failure rate average (IFRA). They have also shown that this class satisfies many fundamental properties. In this paper it is shown that other concepts of multivariate IFRA do not satisfy all of these properties. Relationships between MIFRA and these other concepts are given. Finally, positive dependence implications with respect to these classes are also discussed.
