Abstract

In this note we give some recurrence relations satisfied by single and product moments of
k-th upper record values from the exponential-Weibull lifetime distribution. Using a recurrence
relation for single moments we obtain a characterization of exponential-Weibull, Weibull,
exponential, Rayleigh and two parameter linear failure rate distributions.
