Some results about MIT order and IMIT class of life distributions

We investigate some new properties of mean inactivity time (MIT) order and increasing MIT (IMIT) class of life distributions. The preservation property of MIT order under increasing and concave transformations, reversed preservation properties of MIT order, and IMIT class of life distributions under the taking of maximum are developed. Based on the residual life at a random time and the excess lifetime in a renewal process, stochastic comparisons of both IMIT and decreasing mean residual life distributions are conducted as well.
