Abstract.

In this paper, we characterize some multivariate distributions based on a relationship between the multivariate hazard rate, as defined by Johnson and Kotz (1975) and Marshall (1975), and the multivariate mean residual life as defined by Arnold and Zahedi (1988). The results are extensions of the results obtained earlier by Roy (1989, 1990) and Ma (1996, 1997).
