Abstract
A new class of life distributions, namely new better than used in convex ordering (NBUC), and its dual, new worse than used in convex ordering (NWUC), are introduced. Their relations to other classes of life distributions, closure properties under three reliability operations, and heritage properties under shock model and Laplace-Stieltjes transform are discussed.Keywords
