Abstract:
In this paper we study a family of stochastic orders of random variables defined
via the comparison of their percentile residual life functions. Some interpretations
of these stochastic orders are given, and various properties of them are derived.
The relatIn this paper we study a family of stochastic orders of random variables defined
via the comparison of their percentile residual life functions. Some interpretations
of these stochastic orders are given, and various properties of them are derived.
The relationships to other stochastic orders are also studied. Finally, some
applications in reliability theory and finance are described.[+][-]
