Random Effect Bivariate Survival Models and Stochastic Comparisons
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paperwe propose a general bivariate random effectmodel with special emphasis on frailtymodels and environmental effectmodels, and present some stochastic comparisons. The relationship between the conditional and the unconditional hazard gradients are derived and some examples are provided. We investigate how the well-known stochastic orderings between the distributions of two frailties translate into the orderings between the corresponding survival functions. These results are used to obtain the properties of the bivariate multiplicative model and the shared frailty model.

Dispersive Ordering and k-out-of-n Systems
Extended Abstract. The simplest and the most common way of comparing two random variables is through their means and variances. It may happen that in some cases the median of X is larger than that of Y, while the mean of X is smaller than the mean of Y. However, this confusion will not arise if the random variables are stochastically ordered. Similarly, the same may happen if one would like to ...
متن کاملStochastic Restricted Two-Parameter Estimator in Linear Mixed Measurement Error Models
In this study, the stochastic restricted and unrestricted two-parameter estimators of fixed and random effects are investigated in the linear mixed measurement error models. For this purpose, the asymptotic properties and then the comparisons under the criterion of mean squared error matrix (MSEM) are derived. Furthermore, the proposed methods are used for estimating the biasing parameters. Fin...
متن کاملOn univariate and bivariate aging for dependent lifetimes with Archimedean survival copulas
Let E = (X,Y ) be a pair of exchangeable lifetimes whose dependence structure is described by an Archimedean survival copula, and let Et = [(X − t, Y − t)|X > t, Y > t] denotes the corresponding pair of residual lifetimes after time t, with t ≥ 0. This note deals with stochastic comparisons between E and Et: we provide sufficient conditions for their comparison in usual stochastic and lower ort...
متن کاملA Note on the Bivariate Maximum Entropy Modeling
Let X=(X1 ,X2 ) be a continuous random vector. Under the assumption that the marginal distributions of X1 and X2 are given, we develop models for vector X when there is partial information about the dependence structure between X1 and X2. The models which are obtained based on well-known Principle of Maximum Entropy are called the maximum entropy (ME) mo...
متن کاملPreservation properties of stochastic orderings by transformation to Harris family with different tilt parameters
Harris family of distributions models lifetime of a series system when the number of components is a positive random variable. In this paper, we reveal several stochastic comparisons in the Harris family with different tilt parameters and different baseline distributions with respect to the usual stochastic, shifted stochastic, proportional stochastic and shifted proportional stochastic orderin...
