This article provides two characterizations of Mardia's Type I bivariate Pareto distribution. In particular, it is shown that the distribution of a random vector (X,Y) is uniquely determined as a Mardia's Type I bivariate Pareto distribution if its weighted form follows a Mardia's Type I...

This paper provides characterizations of a family of distributions in the context of reliability theory placing emphasis on a particular family member, the Yule distribution. In particular, it is shown that the distribution of a non-negative, integer-valued random variable X with E(X)+∞ is...

Regional development has been in the centre of interest among both academics but also decision makers in the central and local governments of many European countries. Identifying the key problems that regions face and considering how these findings could be effectively used as a basis for...
