Multivariate Harmonic New Better than Used in Expectation Distributions

摘要

Various definitions of multivariate harmonic new better than used in expectation (MHNBUE) life distributions are introduced and their interrelationship is studied. These are multivariate generalizations of the largest available univariate class of distributions with aging properties. Examples are given to illustrate these concepts. Various closure properties of MHNBUE distributions are proved. (Author)
