Multivariate exponential distributions with constant failure rates

[摘要] In this paper a multivariate failure rate representation based on Cox's conditional failure rate is introduced, characterizations of the Freund-Block and the Marshall-Olkin multivariate exponential distributions are obtained, and generalizations of the Block-Basu and the Friday-Patil bivariate exponential distributions are proposed.
