In this paper we introduce and study a dynamic notion of mean residual life (mrl) functions in the context of multivariate reliability theory. Basic properties of these functions are derived and their ...

Special cases of the general solution give characterizations of the "multivariate generalized stable laws" and the multivariate semistable laws, and a method is presented to characterize the ...

Recent advances in estimation techniques have underscored the growing importance of shrinkage estimation and balanced loss functions in the analysis of multivariate normal distributions.
