Abstract
In this chapter we study two orders that are based on comparisons of functionals of mean residual lives. Like the orders in Chapter 1, the purpose of the orders here is to compare the “location” or the “magnitude” of random variables. Among other things, the relationship between the orders of Chapter 1 and the orders in this chapter will be analyzed.
