VARIANCE BOUNDS UNDER A HAZARD RATE CONSTRAINT
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 December 2013
Abstract
Consider an absolutely continuous distribution on [0, ∞) with known mean μ, and hazard rate function, h satisfying, 0<a≤h(t)≤b<∞, for almost all t≥0. We derive the sharp range for σ2, under these constraints.
