Bathtub Distributions through Percentile Residual Life Functions
In reliability theory and survival analysis, many data set are generated by distributions with bathtub shaped hazard rate functions. Launer (1993) established several relations between the behavior of the hazard rate function and the percentile residual life function. In particular, necessary conditions were given for a special type of bathtub distributions in terms of percentile residual life functions. In this paper we complete the study initiated by Launer (1993) and to characterize (necessary and sufficient conditions) all types of bathtub distributions.
