Summary
In a recent paper by A. P. Basu and N. Ebrahimi (1984, Ann. Inst. Statist. Math., A, 36, 87–100) a new class of life distributions calledk-HNBUE (with dualk-HNWUE) is introduced. Closure properties and bounds on the moments and on the survival function to ak-HNBUE (k-HNWUE) life distribution are presented. However, some of the results presented are incorrect.
