Dispersive Ordering and k-out-of-n Systems

نویسنده

چکیده مقاله:

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 compare the variability of X with that of Y based only on numerical measures like standard deviation etc. Besides, these characteristics of distributions might not exist in some cases. In most cases one can express various forms of knowledge about the underlying distributions in terms of their survival functions, hazard rate functions, mean residual functions, quantile functions and other suitable functions of probability distributions. These methods are much more informative than those based only on few numerical characteristics of distributions. Comparisons of random variables based on such functions usually establish partial orders among them. We call them as stochastic orders. Stochastic models are usually sufficiently ...[To continue click here]

Redundancy allocation problem for k-out-of-n systems with a choice of redundancy strategies

To increase the reliability of a specific system, using redundant components is a common method which is called redundancy allocation problem (RAP). Some of the RAP studies have focused on k-out-of-n systems. However, all of these studies assumed predetermined active or standby strategies for each subsystem. In this paper, for the first time, we propose a k-out-of-<em...

On the Joint Reliability Importance for k-out-of-n Systems

‎In this paper‎, ‎the concept of joint reliability importance (JRI) of two or groups of components in a coherent system with independent components have been studied‎. ‎The JRI is defined as the rate at which the system reliability improves as the reliabilities‎ ‎of the two or groups of components improve‎. ‎Generally‎, ‎the sign and the value of the JRI represent the type and the‎ ‎degree of i...

CONDITIONAL ORDERING OF k-OUT-OF-n SYSTEMS WITH INDEPENDENT BUT NONIDENTICAL COMPONENTS

By considering k-out-of-n systems with independent and nonidentically distributed components, we discuss stochastic monotone properties of the residual life and the inactivity time. We then present some stochastic comparisons of two systems based on the residual life and inactivity time.

Multivariate Dispersive Ordering of Generalized Order Statistics

The concept of generalized order statistics (GOSs) was introduced as a unified approach to a variety of models of ordered random variables. The purpose of this paper is to investigate condi- tions on the underlying distribution functions and the parameters on which GOSs are based, to establish Shaked-Shanthikumar multivari- ate dispersive ordering of GOSs from one sample and Khaledi-Kochar mu...
