Abstract

For nonnegative random variables, the weighted distributions have been compared with the original distributions with the help of partial orderings of probability distributions. Bounds on the moments of the weighted distributions have been obtained in terms of the moments of the original distributions for some nonparametric classes of aging distributions.
