Stochastic Comparisons of Lifetimes of Two Series and Parallel Systems with Location-Scale Family Distributed Components having Archimedean Copulas

چکیده
In this paper, we compare the lifetimes of two series and two parallel systems stochastically where the lifetime of each component follows location-scale (LS) family of distributions. The comparison is carried out under two scenarios: one, that the components of the systems have a dependent structure sharing Archimedean copula and two, that the components are independently distributed. It is shown that the systems with components in series or parallel sharing Archimedean copula with more dispersion in the location or scale parameters results in better performance in the sense of the usual stochastic order. It is also shown that if the components are independently distributed, it is possible to obtain more generalized results as compared to the dependent set-up. The results in this paper generalizes similar results in both independent and dependent set up for exponential and Weibull distributed components.

Ageing Orders of Series-Parallel and Parallel-Series Systems with Independent Subsystems Consisting of Dependent Components
In this paper, we consider series-parallel and parallel-series systems with independent subsystems consisting of dependent homogeneous components whose joint lifetimes are modeled by an Archimedean copula. Then, by considering two such systems with different numbers of components within each subsystem, we establish hazard rate and reversed hazard rate orderings between the two system lifetimes,...

متن کاملA Note on the Comparisons among Coherent Systems
Using the concept of system signature introduced by Samaniego (1985), Kochar et al. (1999) compared the lifetimes of the systems in which the lifetimes of the components are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables. Their results are extended to the systems with exchangeable components by Navarro et al. (2005). This paper gives some alternative proofs to obtain th...

متن کاملPreservation of Stochastic Orderings of Interdependent Series and Parallel Systems by Componentwise Switching to Exponentiated Models
This paper discusses the preservation of some stochastic orders between two interdependent series and parallel systems when the survival and distribution functions of all components switch to the exponentiated model. For the series systems, the likelihood ratio, hazard rate, usual, aging faster, aging intensity, convex transform, star, superadditive and dispersive orderings, and for the paralle...
