Abstract: | Raja Rao et al. (1993 Raja Rao , B. , Damaraju , C. V. , Alhumoud , J. M. ( 1993 ). Setting the clock back to zero property of a class of bivariate life distributions . Commun. Statist. Theor. Meth. 22 ( 7 ): 2067 – 2080 .[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) introduced the bivariate setting the clock back to zero property. A new variant of this property is introduced that is appropriate for analysing a broader area of practical situations. Some distributions possessing the proposed property are presented. Applications of this property for simplifying the computation of the bivariate mean residual life function and the bivariate percentile residual life function are studied. The relation between the proposed property with the one studied by Raja Rao and Talwalker (1990 Raja Rao , B. , Talwalker , S. (1990). Setting the clock back to zero property of a family of life distributions. J. Statist. Plann. Infer. 24:347–352. [Google Scholar]) and the bivariate lack of memory property is studied. |
