Abstract

AbstractRecently, the generalized reversed aging intensity functions have been studied in the literature revealing to be a tool to characterize distributions, under suitable conditions. In this paper, some improvements on these functions are given and the relation between two cumulative distribution functions leading to the same generalization is studied. In particular, a link with the two-parameters Weibull distributions is found and a new stochastic order is defined in terms of the generalized reversed aging intensity. This order is strictly related to the definition of extropy, that is the dual measure of entropy, and some connections with well-known stochastic orders are analyzed. Finally, the possibility of introducing the concept of generalized aging intensity is studied also in terms of cumulative distribution functions with non-positive support.
