Abstract

In this paper, we present bounds for moment generating functions of certain life distributions, including the decreasing mean residual life class. We also give bounds for some other much larger classes of life distributions. Most bounds are based on the mean residual life functions. These bounds are compared to some other bounds in the literature. The methods used can also find bounds for other functions of the lifetime random variable. Some applications to bounding tail probabilities of lifetime distributions are given.
