In this article we present a nonparametric method for constructing confidence bands for the difference of two quantile residual life (qrl) functions. These bands provide evidence for two random variables ordering with respect to the qrl order. T[...]texto impreso
In this paper, we introduce a new estimator of a percentile residual life function with censored data under a monotonicity constraint. Specifically, it is assumed that the percentile residual life is a decreasing function. This assumption is use[...]texto impreso
Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves are useful statistical tools for medical diagnostic testing. It has been proved its capability to assess diagnostic marker’s ability to distinguish between healthy and diseased subjects and to compa[...]texto impreso
In this paper we study a family of stochastic orders of random variables defined via the comparison of their percentile residual life functions. Some interpretations of these stochastic orders are given, and various properties of them are derive[...]texto impreso
Earlier researchers have studied some aspects of the classes of distribution functions with decreasing alpha-percentile residual life (DPRL(alpha)), 0texto impreso
Motivated by practical issues, a new stochastic order for random variables is introduced by comparing all their percentile residual life functions until a certain instant. Some interpretations of these stochastic orders are given, and various pr[...]texto impreso
Recently Nair and Sankaran (2013) listed some known characterizations of common aging notions in terms of the total time on test transform (TTT) function. They also derived some new characterizations. The purpose of this note is to add two chara[...]
