Abstract:
The most common non-monotonic hazard rate situations in life sciences and engineering involves bathtub shapes. This paper focuses on the quantile residual life function in the class of lifetime distributions that have bathtub-shaped hazard rate functions. For this class of distributions, the shape of the α-quantile residual lifetime function was studied. Then, the change points of the α-quantile residual life function of a general weighted hazard rate model were compared with the corresponding change points of the basic model in terms of their location. As a special weighted model, the order statistics were considered and the change points related to the order statistics were compared with the change points of the baseline distribution. Moreover, some comparisons of the change points of two different order statistics were presented.
