Two well-known orders that have been introduced and studied in reliability theory are defined via stochastic comparison of inactivity time: the reversed hazard rate order and the mean inactivity time order. In this article, some characterization results of those orders are given. We prove that, under suitable conditions, the reversed hazard rate order is equivalent to the mean inactivity time order. We also provide new characterizations of the decreasing reversed hazard rate (increasing mean inactivity time) classes based on variability orderings of the inactivity time of k-out-of-n system given that the time of the (n − k + 1)st failure occurs at or sometimes before time t ≥ 0. Similar conclusions based on the inactivity time of the component that fails first are presented as well. Finally, some useful inequalities and relations for weighted distributions related to reversed hazard rate (mean inactivity time) functions are obtained.

We study further the quantile mean inactivity time order. Relations between the proposed stochastic order and the other transform stochastic orders are obtained. Besides, sufficient conditions for the stochastic order are provided. Then, preservation of the order under monotone transformations, series, and parallel systems and mixtures of a general family of semiparametric distributions is studied. Examples are also given to illustrate the results.

We investigate some new properties of mean inactivity time (MIT) order and increasing MIT (IMIT) class of life distributions. The preservation property of MIT order under increasing and concave transformations, reversed preservation properties of MIT order, and IMIT class of life distributions under the taking of maximum are developed. Based on the residual life at a random time and the excess lifetime in a renewal process, stochastic comparisons of both IMIT and decreasing mean residual life distributions are conducted as well.

<abstract><p>In this paper, a mean inactivity time frailty model is considered. Examples are given to calculate the mean inactivity time for several reputable survival models. The dependence structure between the population variable and the frailty variable is characterized. The classical weighted proportional mean inactivity time model is considered as a special case. We prove that several well-known stochastic orderings between two frailties are preserved for the response variables under the weighted proportional mean inactivity time model. We apply this model on a real data set and also perform a simulation study to examine the accuracy of the model.</p></abstract>
