Based on the increasing property of ratio of average reversed hazard rates of two non-negative random variables a new stochastic order for the sake of comparison of two lifetime distributions is proposed. This stochastic order admits some distinguishing properties. In order to illustrate the obtained results, a semi-parametric model which is called reverse hazard power and a mixture model of pr...

in the literature of life-testing, general progressive censoring has been studied extensively. but, all the results have been developed under the key assumption that the units undertest are independently distributed. in this paper, we study general progressively type-ii censored order statistics arising from identical units under test which are jointly distributed according to an archimedean co...

this paper studies a maintenance policy for a system composed of two components, which are subject to continuous deterioration and consequently stochastic failure. the failure of each component results in the failure of the system. the components are inspected periodically and their deterioration degrees are monitored. the components can be maintained using different maintenance actions (repair...
