Bounds for the hazard rate and the reversed hazard rate of the convolution of dependent random lifetimes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 December 2019
Abstract
An upper bound for the hazard rate function of a convolution of not necessarily independent random lifetimes is provided, which generalizes a recent result established for independent random lifetimes. Similar results are considered for the reversed hazard rate function. Applications to parametric and semiparametric models are also given.
