ABSTRACT:
For characterization of negative exponential distribution one needs
any arbitrary non-constant function only in place of approaches such as
identical distributions, absolute continuity, constant regression of order
statistics, continuity and linear regression of order statistics,
non-degeneracy etc. available in the literature. Path breaking different
approach for characterization of negative exponential distribution through
expectation of non-constant function of random variable is obtained. An example
is given for illustrative purpose.
