A Note on Probability Distributions with Increasing Generalized Failure Rates
X has an increasing generalized failure rate (IGFR) and is an IGFR distribution if g is weakly increasing for all such that < 1. Decreasing failure rate (DFR) or decreasing generalized failure rate (DGFR) distributions can be defined analogously. Clearly, if X is IFR it is also IGFR, but the reverse need not hold; many DFR distributions are IGFR. Pricing a service illustrates the use of IGFR di...
متن کاملNew results concerning probability distributions with increasing generalized failure rates
Lariviere and Porteus (2001) introduce the concept of generalized failure rate of a continuous random variable and demonstrate its importance. If the valuation distribution of a product has an increasing generalized failure rate (that is, the distribution is IGFR), then the associated revenue function is unimodal, and when the generalized failure rate is strictly increasing, the global maximum ...
متن کاملTechnical Note - New Results Concerning Probability Distributions with Increasing Generalized Failure Rates
The generalized failure rate of a continuous random variable has demonstrable importance in operations management. If the valuation distribution of a product has an increasing generalized failure rate (that is, the distribution is IGFR), then the associated revenue function is unimodal, and when the generalized failure rate is strictly increasing, the global maximum is uniquely specified. The a...
متن کاملA Note on Approximations to Discrete Probability Distributions
An iterative method is presented which gives an optimum approximation to the joint probability distribution of a set of binary variables given the joiat probability distributions of any subsets of the variables (any set of component distributions). The most significant feature of this approximation procedure is that there is no limitation to the number or type of component distributions that ca...
متن کاملA Note on Artinianess of Certain Generalized
Let ?: R0?R be a ring homomorphism and suppose that a and a0, respectively, are ideals of R and R0 such that is an Artinian ring. Let M and N be two finitely generated R-modules and suppose that (R0,m0) is a local ring. In this note we prove that the R-modules and are Artinian for all integers i and j, whenever and . Also we will show that if a is principal, then the R-modules and ...
