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 is discussed in detail in Kotz and Shanbhag, Advan. Appl. Probab.12 (1980), 903–921.)
