Abstract
Inequalities, relations and partial ordering for weighted reliability measures are presented. Inequalities for Lévy distance measure for weighted distributions are obtained in terms of the parent distributions. Reliability inequalities and stability results are established for weighted distributions with monotone hazard and mean residual life functions.
