On preservation under univariate weighted distributions

Salman Izadkhah, Mohammad Amini, Gholam Reza Mohtashami Borzadaran (2015)

Applications of Mathematics

We derive some new results for preservation of various stochastic orders and aging classes under weighted distributions. The corresponding reversed preservation properties as straightforward conclusions of the obtained results for the direct preservation properties, are developed. Damage model of Rao, residual lifetime distribution, proportional hazards and proportional reversed hazards models are discussed as special weighted distributions to try some of our results.

On Probability Distribution Solutions of a Functional Equation

Janusz Morawiec, Ludwig Reich (2005)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Let 0 < β < α < 1 and let p ∈ (0,1). We consider the functional equation φ(x) = pφ (x-β)/(1-β) + (1-p)φ(minx/α, (x(α-β)+β(1-α))/α(1-β)) and its solutions in two classes of functions, namely ℐ = φ: ℝ → ℝ|φ is increasing, φ | ( - ∞ , 0 ] = 0 , φ | [ 1 , ∞ ) = 1 , = φ: ℝ → ℝ|φ is continuous, φ | ( - ∞ , 0 ] = 0 , φ | [ 1 , ∞ ) = 1 . We prove that the above equation has at most one solution in and that for some parameters α,β and p such a solution exists, and for some it does not. We also determine all solutions of the equation in ℐ and we show the exact connection...

On reliability analysis of consecutive k -out-of- n systems with arbitrarily dependent components

Ebrahim Salehi (2016)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, we consider the linear and circular consecutive k -out-of- n systems consisting of arbitrarily dependent components. Under the condition that at least n - r + 1 components ( r ≤ n ) of the system are working at time t , we study the reliability properties of the residual lifetime of such systems. Also, we present some stochastic ordering properties of residual lifetime of consecutive k -out-of- n systems. In the following, we investigate the inactivity time of the component with lifetime T r : n at the system...

On some generalization of the t-transformation

Anna Dorota Krystek (2010)

Banach Center Publications

Using the Nevanlinna representation of the reciprocal of the Cauchy transform of probability measures, we introduce a two-parameter transformation U of probability measures on the real line ℝ, which is another possible generalization of the t-transformation. Using that deformation we define a new convolution by deformation of the free convolution. The central limit measure with respect to the -deformed free convolutions is still a Kesten measure, but the Poisson limit depends on the two parameters...

On some limit distributions for geometric random sums

Marek T. Malinowski (2008)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

We define and give the various characterizations of a new subclass of geometrically infinitely divisible random variables. This subclass, called geometrically semistable, is given as the set of all these random variables which are the limits in distribution of geometric, weighted and shifted random sums. Introduced class is the extension of, considered until now, classes of geometrically stable [5] and geometrically strictly semistable random variables [10]. All the results can be straightforward...
