Association between mean residual life (MRL) and failure rate functions for continuous and discrete lifetime distributions
The purpose of this study was to correct some mistakes in the literature and derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the MRL to follow the roller-coaster pattern of the corresponding failure rate function. It was also desired to find the conditions under which the discrete failure rate funct...
