Relative mean residual life: Theory and related topics
Abstract In this paper the definitions of Relative Mean Residual Life (RMRL) is introduced. The properties of RMRL and relationship with other order comparing two distributions is investigated. We propose a test of the proportional hazards assumption against alternative of RMRL is a increasing function and another test of one distribution is more IMRL than another. As complement we give the empirical results of the RMRL and an example.
