Based on the increasing property of ratio of average reversed hazard rates of two non-negative random variables a new stochastic order for the sake of comparison of two lifetime distributions is proposed. This stochastic order admits some distinguishing properties. In order to illustrate the obtained results, a semi-parametric model which is called reverse hazard power and a mixture model of pr...
