内容介绍：
The Bayes risk of the mean residual (MR) or excess of a random variable above a threshold is defined as the expectation with respect to a prior for the threshold. We show that the standard deviation provides a tight upper bound for the Bayes risk of the MR. This result characterizes the exponential distribution and is tighter than a known bound for the measure. The ratio of Bayes risk of the MR to the standard deviation provides a risk index which reached the maximum of one if and only if the underlying distribution is exponential. Distributional examples illustrate the tightness of the standard deviation bound, improvement over the known bound, and the risk index. I present an overview of recent results on the Bayes risk of the MR and describe applications to reliability of system, ranking forecast models, and New York City's taxi trip times.
