Abstract
- In this article, we introduce a new dispersion order weaker than the classic dispersion order discussed by Lewis and Thompson (1981). We study the equivalence of this order with the majorization order under the assumption of unimodality. Finally, we use this equivalence to characterize the IFR aging notion for unimodal distributions by means of the notion of decreasing in randomness.
