Abstract:
Partial moments are extensively used in literature for modeling and analysis of lifetime
data. In this paper, we study properties of partial moments using quantile functions.
The quantile based measure determines the underlying distribution uniquely. We then
characterize certain lifetime quantile function models. The proposed measure provides
alternate definitions for ageing criteria. Finally, we explore the utility of the measure to
compare the characteristics of two lifetime distributions
