Abstract
We develop some approaches to the characterization of distributions of real-valued random variables, useful in practical applications, in terms of conditional expectations and hazard measures. We prove several representation theorems generalizing earlier results, and establish stability theorems for two general characteristics introduced in this paper.Keywords
