Abstract
In this paper, we introduce some new notions of aging based on geometric, harmonic means of failure rate and aging intensity function. We define a generalized version of aging functions called specific interval-average geometric hazard rate, specific interval-average harmonic hazard rate. We focus on some characterization results and their inter-relationships among the resulting non-parametric classes of distributions. Monotonic nature of so defined aging classes are exhibited by some well known probability distributions. Probabilistic orders based on these functions are taken up for further study. The work is illustrated through case studies and a simulated data having applications in reliability/survival analysis.
