Abstract:
This paper discusses the relationships among some characteristic properties of the multivariate survival function based on
the residual life distribution, and provides the conditions for their equivalence. In the meanwhile, the corrected version
of Ma (1996, Theorem 1 (ii) and (iii)) is given.
