%X Comparisons of residual lives and inactivity times is an important topic in reliability. 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.
