Association Measures for Bivariate Lifetime Data

Association Measures for Bivariate Lifetime Data Reversed hazard rates are found to be very useful in survival and reliability studies especially in cases of parallel systems and left-censored data. We introduce four association measures using reversed hazard rates and mean waiting time. We then study the properties of these measures. Nonparametric estimators of these measures are developed. Finally, the application of these measures is illustrated with two real life data sets. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Communications in Statistics: Theory and Methods Taylor & Francis

Abstract

Reversed hazard rates are found to be very useful in survival and reliability studies especially in cases of parallel systems and left-censored data. We introduce four association measures using reversed hazard rates and mean waiting time. We then study the properties of these measures. Nonparametric estimators of these measures are developed. Finally, the application of these measures is illustrated with two real life data sets.
