Some new approaches to multivariate probability distributions. (English) Zbl 0633.62044
Authors’ abstract: We extend and generalize to the multivariate set-up our earlier investigations related to expected remaining life functions and general hazard measures including representations and stability theorems for arbitrary probability distributions in terms of these concepts. The univariate case has been discussed in detail by the authors in Adv. Appl. Probab. 12, 903-921 (1980; Zbl 0454.62085).
