• association measure
• Clayton's dependence measure
• reversed hazard rates

Reversed hazard rates are found to be very useful in survival and reliability studies especially in cases of parallel systems and left-censored data. We introduce four association measures using reversed hazard rates and mean waiting time. We then study the properties of these measures. Nonparametric estimators of these measures are developed. Finally, the application of these measures is illustrated with two real life data sets.
