It is well known that the hazard rate of a univariate normal distribution is increasing. In this paper, we prove that the hazard gradient, in the case of general multivariate normal distribution, is increasing in the sense of Johnson and Kotz. 1997 Academic Press 1. Definition 1. The joint multivar

โฆ Synopsis
For the multivariate log-concave distribution, it is shown that the hazard gradient is increasing in the sense of Johnson and Kotz. As an immediate consequence, the result of Gupta and Gupta (1997) on the multivariate normal hazard is obtained.
