Abstract

In this article, we present characterizations of the power distribution via the identical hazard rate of lower record values that $X_n$ has the power distribution if and only if for some fixed n, $n{\geq}1$, the hazard rate $h_W$ of $W=X_{L(n+1)}/X_{L(n)}$ is the same as the hazard rate h of $X_n$ or the hazard rate $h_V$ of $V=X_{L(n+2)}/X_{L(n+1)}$.
