Statistics & Probability Letters, 2021, vol. 170, issue C

Abstract: Different aspects of mean inactivity time (MIT) function such as properties, bounds and limiting behaviour are studied. We proceed to prove an important characterization theorem and also explore weak convergence issues. Finally, connections between MIT and reversed hazard rate functions are examined.
