On generalized orderings and ageing classes for residual life and inactivity time at random time (Q2312033)

In this paper, the authors investigate ageing classes and stochastic comparisons of residual life at random time (RLRT) and inactivity time at random time (ITRT), and establish some preservation properties of generalized ageing classes (viz. \(s\)-IFR, \(s\)-DFR) and generalized stochastic ordering (\(s\)-FR) for RLRT and ITRT, where \(s\) is a non-negative integer. The results strengthen some results available in the literature and have some potential applications in reliability theory and other research areas.
