Preservation properties for the discrete mean residual life ordering

Bivariate Characterized Model Based on Mean Residual Life Properties

This paper uses the concept of characterized model for bivariate extensions of univariate life distributions based on mean residual life properties. Different bivariate distributions can be generated from different choices of marginal distributions. The retention of univariate IMRL, DMRL, NBUE, NWUE, HNBUE and HNWUE class properties in the bivariate setup has been ensured along with results of ...

Conditional Mean Residual Life Estimation

Limiting Behaviour of the Mean Residual Life

In survival or reliability studies, the mean residual life or life expectancy is an important characteristic of the model. Here, we study the limiting behaviour of the mean residual life, and derive an asymptotic expansion which can be used to obtain a good approximation for large values of the time variable. The asymptotic expansion is valid for a quite general class of failure rate distributi...

“the effect of risk aversion on the demand for life insurance: the case of iranian life insurance market”

abstract: about 60% of total premium of insurance industry is pertained?to life policies in the world; while the life insurance total premium in iran is less than 6% of total premium in insurance industry in 2008 (sigma, no 3/2009). among the reasons that discourage the life insurance industry is the problem of adverse selection. adverse selection theory describes a situation where the inf...
