Some stochastic comparison results for series and parallel systems with heterogeneous Pareto type components

Lakshmi Kanta Patra, Suchandan Kayal, Phalguni Nanda (2018)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We focus on stochastic comparisons of lifetimes of series and parallel systems consisting of independent and heterogeneous new Pareto type components. Sufficient conditions involving majorization type partial orders are provided to obtain stochastic comparisons in terms of various magnitude and dispersive orderings which include usual stochastic order, hazard rate order, dispersive order and right spread order. The usual stochastic order of lifetimes of series systems with possibly different...

Transforming stochastic matrices for stochastic comparison with the st-order

Tuğrul Dayar, Jean-Michel Fourneau, Nihal Pekergin (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

We present a transformation for stochastic matrices and analyze the effects of using it in stochastic comparison with the strong stochastic (st) order. We show that unless the given stochastic matrix is row diagonally dominant, the transformed matrix provides better st bounds on the steady state probability distribution.
