Abstract

For n-dimensional survival functions, we study some probabilistic aspects of the Schur-constant property. The latter is of interest in that it extends the “lack-of-memory” property in a Bayesian context. Some general facts are studied in detail, and related results about interdependence, aging, and extendibility are presented.
