Abstract
The purposes of this paper are to introduce a new stochastic order and to study its reliability properties. Some characterizations and preservation properties of the new order under reliability operations of monotone transformation, mixture, weighted distributions and shock models are discussed. In addition, a new class of life distributions is proposed, and some of its reliability properties are investigated. Finally, to illustrate the concepts, some applications in the context of reliability theory and life testing are presented.
期刊介绍:
Statistical Methodology aims to publish articles of high quality reflecting the varied facets of contemporary statistical theory as well as of significant applications. In addition to helping to stimulate research, the journal intends to bring about interactions among statisticians and scientists in other disciplines broadly interested in statistical methodology. The journal focuses on traditional areas such as statistical inference, multivariate analysis, design of experiments, sampling theory, regression analysis, re-sampling methods, time series, nonparametric statistics, etc., and also gives special emphasis to established as well as emerging applied areas.
