Mean Residual Life Function, Associated Orderings and Properties
Abstract
Although the shape of the failure rate function plays an important role in repair and replacement strategies, the mean residual life (mrl) function is more relevant as the latter summarizes the entire residual life function, whereas the former considers only the risk of instantaneous failure. In this paper, we give a review of the different partial ordering results related to mrl order, and proportional mrl model, with some characterization …
