title={A Gini-Type Index for Aging/Rejuvenating Objects},
author={Mark P. Kaminskiy and Vasiliy V. Krivtsov},
year={2010}
}This paper introduces a simple index that helps to assess the degree of aging or rejuvenation of repairable systems and non-repairable systems (components). The index ranges from − 1 to 1. It is negative for the class of decreasing failure rate distributions and point processes with decreasing ROCOF and is positive for the increasing failure rate distributions and point processes with increasing ROCOF. The introduced index is distribution free.

This paper proposes to capitalize on the fact that NHPP's ROCOF formally coincides with the hazard function of the underlying lifetime distribution, and suggests the variety of parametric forms for the hazard functions of traditional lifetime distributions could be used as the models for the RocOF of respective NHPPs.
