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.
