In this paper, we carry out stochastic comparisons of largest order statistics from multiple-outlier exponential models according to the likelihood ratio order (reversed hazard rate order) and the hazard rate order (usual stochastic order). It is proved, among others, that the weak majorization order between the two hazard rate vectors is equivalent to the likelihood ratio order (reversed hazard rate order) between largest order statistics, and that the p-larger order between the two hazard rate vectors is equivalent to the hazard rate order (usual stochastic order) between largest order statistics. We also extend these results to the proportional hazard rate models. The results established here strengthen and generalize some of the results known in the literature.

In this article, we study ordering properties of lifetimes of parallel systems with two independent heterogeneous gamma components in terms of the likelihood ratio order and the hazard rate order. LetX1andX2be two independent gamma random variables withXihaving shape parameterr>0 and scale parameter λi,i=1, 2, and letX*1andX*2be another set of independent gamma random variables withX*ihaving shape parameterrand scale parameter λ*i,i=1, 2. Denote byX2:2andX*2:2the corresponding maximum order statistics, respectively. It is proved that, among others, if (λ1, λ2) weakly majorize (λ*1, λ*2), thenX2:2is stochastically greater thanX*2:2in the sense of likelihood ratio order. We also establish, among others, that if 0<r≤1 and (λ1, λ2) isp-larger than (λ*1, λ*2), thenX2:2is stochastically greater thanX*2:2in the sense of hazard rate order. The results derived here strengthen and generalize some of the results known in the literature.

This paper carries out stochastic comparisons of series and parallel systems with independent and heterogeneous components in the sense of the hazard rate order, the reversed hazard rate order, and the likelihood ratio order. The main results extend and strengthen the corresponding ones by Misra and Misra [18] and by Ding, Zhang, and Zhao [8]. Meanwhile, the results on the hazard rate order of parallel systems and the reversed hazard order of series systems serve as nice supplements to Theorem 16.B.1 of Boland and Proschan [4] and Theorem 3.2 of Nanda and Shaked [20], respectively.

In this paper, we study some stochastic comparisons of the maxima in two multiple-outlier geometric samples based on the likelihood ratio order, hazard rate order, and usual stochastic order. We establish a sufficient condition on parameter vectors for the likelihood ratio ordering to hold. For the special case whenn= 2, it is proved that thep-larger order between the two parameter vectors is equivalent to the hazard rate order as well as usual stochastic order between the two maxima. Some numerical examples are presented for illustrating the established results.

AbstractIn this paper, we consider exponentiated location-scale model and obtain several ordering results between extreme order statistics in various senses. Under majorization type partial order-based conditions, the comparisons are established according to the usual stochastic order, hazard rate order and reversed hazard rate order. Multiple-outlier models are considered. When the number of components are equal, the results are obtained based on the ageing faster order in terms of the hazard rate and likelihood ratio orders. For unequal number of components, we develop comparisons according to the usual stochastic order, hazard rate order, and likelihood ratio order. Numerical examples are considered to illustrate the results.

Let X1, …, Xn be independent exponential random variables with their respective hazard rates λ1, …, λn, and let Y1, …, Yn be independent exponential random variables with common hazard rate λ. Denote by Xn:n, Yn:n and X1:n, Y1:n the corresponding maximum and minimum order statistics. Xn:n−X1:n is proved to be larger than Yn:n−Y1:n according to the usual stochastic order if and only if $\lambda \geq \left({\bar{\lambda}}^{-1}\prod\nolimits^{n}_{i=1}\lambda_{i}\right)^{{1}/{(n-1)}}$ with $\bar{\lambda}=\sum\nolimits^{n}_{i=1}\lambda_{i}/n$. Further, this usual stochastic order is strengthened to the hazard rate order for n=2. However, a counterexample reveals that this can be strengthened neither to the hazard rate order nor to the reversed hazard rate order in the general case. The main result substantially improves those related ones obtained in Kochar and Rojo and Khaledi and Kochar.

The Relationship

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the stochastic comparisons of the parallel system with independent heterogeneous Gumbel components and series and parallel systems with independent heterogeneous truncated Gumbel components in terms of various stochastic orderings.Design/methodology/approachThe obtained results in this paper are obtained by using the vector majorization methods and results. First, the components of series and parallel systems are heterogeneous and having Gumbel or truncated Gumbel distributions. Second, multiple-outlier truncated Gumbel models are discussed for these systems. Then, the relationship between the systems having Gumbel components and Weibull components are considered. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations are performed to illustrate some obtained results.FindingsThe reversed hazard rate and likelihood ratio orderings are obtained for the parallel system of Gumbel components. Using these results, similar new results are derived for the series system of Weibull components. Stochastic comparisons for the series and parallel systems having truncated Gumbel components are established in terms of hazard rate, likelihood ratio and reversed hazard rate orderings. Some new results are also derived for the series and parallel systems of upper-truncated Weibull components.Originality/valueTo the best of our knowledge thus far, stochastic comparisons of series and parallel systems with Gumbel or truncated Gumble components have not been considered in the literature. Moreover, new results for Weibull and upper-truncated Weibull components are presented based on Gumbel case results.

Quasi Stationary Distribution

In this paper, we propose a novel method for constructing upper bounds of the quasi-stationary distribution of SIS processes. Using this method, we obtain an upper bound that is better than the state-of-the-art upper bound. Moreover, we prove that the fixed point map Φ [7] actually preserves the equilibrium reversed hazard rate order under a certain condition. This allows us to further improve the upper bound. Some numerical results are presented to illustrate the results.
