Abstract

Most of the characterizations of probability distributions are based on properties of functions of possibly independent random variables. We investigate characterizations of probability distributions through properties of minima or maxima of max-independent, min-independent and quasi-independent random variables generalizing the results from independent random variables of Kotlarski (1978), Prakasa Rao (1992) and Klebanov (1973).
