Determination of reliability bounds for structural systems using linear programming.
Die Schätzung des linearen Todesprozesses bei fehlerbehafteten Beobachtungen.
Dispersive functions and stochastic orders
Generalizations of the hazard functions are proposed and general hazard rate orders are introduced. Some stochastic orders are defined as general ones. A unified derivation of relations between the dispersive order and some other orders of distributions is presented
Dynamic dependence ordering for Archimedean copulas and distorted copulas
This paper proposes a general framework to compare the strength of the dependence in survival models, as time changes, i. e. given remaining lifetimes , to compare the dependence of given , and given , where . More precisely, analytical results will be obtained in the case the survival copula of is either Archimedean or a distorted copula. The case of a frailty based model will also be discussed in details.
