Abstract :
This paper gives a counter example to invalidate a claim of Nair and Nair (1989) regarding a characterization of bivariate mean residual-life function (BMRLF). The authors characterize BMRLF of an absolutely continuous life-time distribution and, based on the form of the BMRLF, introduce probability models for bivariate life-time data
