EQUIVALENT MARGINAL MULTIVARIATE EXPONENTIAL DISTRIBUTION AND ITS PARAMETER ESTIMATIONS

In this paper, we considered a special case of the MVE distribution, called the Equivalent Marginal MVE, and gave its density and some of its characteristic properties. According to the different sampling types, a MLE of its parameter was obtained in series sysytem, and in the general ease （parallel system） a simple estimation was given by the moment method.
