A well known sufficient condition for the mean residual life order of two random variables is the hazard rate order of the two random variables. The hazard rate order is characterized by the monotonicity of the ratio of the two survival functions. However in many cases this ratio is non monotone...

In this paper, we establish some results for the increasing convex comparisons of generalized order statistics. First, we prove that if the minimum of two sets of generalized order statistics are ordered in the increasing convex order, then the remaining generalized order statistics are also...
