Connection of Generalized Failure Rate and Generalized Reversed Failure Rate with Inequality Curves

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce some properties of generalized failure rate (GFR) and generalized reversed failure rate (GRFR), study their connection with inequality measures and then apply it to make comparisons of some reliability models. In the second part of our paper, we obtain the properties for the GRFR based on the properties of the GFR and weighted distributions. The importance of such a study lies in the usefulness of using. Finally, we present two examples to illustrate the applications of the relationships outlined in this paper. A real dataset is used for clarifying presented concepts.
