Abstract
Burn-in and age replacement, both of which are used to reduce frequency of in-service failures, are studied in conjunction with each other. When the criterion for judging burn-in survival is more stringent than the criterion for judging in-service failure, a notion arises, here called “age degraded”, which generalizes the well known “new better than used” property. Various stochastic comparisons of the number of in-service failures under different policies are obtained.
