In this framework, our purpose is twofold. First, we interpret a family of stochastic orders, known in the literature as transform stochastic orderings, in terms of stochastic comparisons among residual lives and inactivity times at quantiles. Second, we introduce a new stochastic order that occupies an intermediate position between two of these transform orderings, namely, the convex order and the star order. As an application, we introduce a new aging class intermediate between the aging classes IHR and IHRA and show its usefulness.}, publisher = {IEEE}, keywords = {Transform stochastic orders}, keywords = {aging notions}, keywords = {residual life}, keywords = {inactivity time}, title = {Comparing residual lives and inactivity times by transform stochastic orders}, doi = {10.1109/TR.2017.2679158}, author = {Arriaza Gómez, Antonio Jesús and Sordo Díaz, Miguel Ángel and Suárez Llorens, Alfonso}, }
