Abstract
In this paper a multivariate failure rate representation based on Cox' s conditional failure rate is introduced, characterizations of the Fre und-Block and the Marshall-Olkin multivariate exponential distribution s are obtained, and generalizations of the Block-Basu and the Friday-P atil bivariate exponential distributions are proposed.
