Abstract

A bivariate exponential distribution due to Gumbel and a bivariate Lomax distribution due to Lindley and Singpurwalla have been characterized through a bivariate extension of a univariate characterizing property of the exponential and the Lomax distribution; the characterization is based on mean residual lives and hazard rates.
