Nonparametric Estimation of a Vector-Valued Bivariate Failure Rate
向量值二元失效率的非参数估计
Let $\mathbf{X} = (X_1, X_2)'$ be a bivariate random vector distributed according to an absolutely continuous distribution function $F(\mathbf{x})$ which has first partial derivatives. Let $\bar{F}(\mathbf{x}) = P(X_1 > x_1, X_2 > x_2).$ The vector-valued bivariate failure rate is defined as $\mathbf{r}(\mathbf{x}) = (r_1(\mathbf{x}), r_2(\mathbf{x}))',$ where $r_i(\mathbf{x}) = -\partial \ln \bar{F}(\mathbf{x})/\partial x_i (i = 1, 2)$. In this paper, we propose a smooth…
