✦ Synopsis
to include such distributions as IFR, since on page 25 it is concluded, erroneously, that if F is IFR then F(0) = 0. Without some modification of the definition, or explicit recognition that F's being IFR imply that F (0) = 0, the properties of IFR distributions presented in this chapter (i.e., bounds on their values) are not correct.
This chapter also gives the important conditions under which monotone failure rates are preserved, i.e., if F and G are IFR then so is F'G, and if F and G are DFR then alF + alG is also, where al,a2 ~ 0 and
