Recent advances in estimation techniques have underscored the growing importance of shrinkage estimation and balanced loss functions in the analysis of multivariate normal distributions. These ...

In this paper we introduce and study a dynamic notion of mean residual life (mrl) functions in the context of multivariate reliability theory. Basic properties of these functions are derived and their ...

We present formulas that allow us to decompose a function ƒ of d variables into a sum of 2 d terms f u indexed by subsets u of {1,. . . , d}, where each term f u depends only on the variables with ...
