Abstract

In this paper, we study some reliability aspects of proportional reversed hazards model (PRHM) using quantile functions and derive certain characteristic properties. A quantile-based relevation transform for past lifetime random variable is introduced. The relationships between quantile-based PRHM and quantile versions of measures of divergence are investigated.
