In this paper, we review some recent results on the stochastic comparison of order statistics
and related statistics from independent and heterogeneous proportional hazard rates …

In summer of 2010, the first author (HL) visited the second author (XL) at Lanzhou University,
China, and chaired the dissertation defense for XL's two graduating doctoral students …

In many significant safety systems, the fault tolerance of a fail-safe system has been a
fundamental design attributed to obtaining more higher reliability. However, in most practical …

In practical situations, systems often suffer shocks from external stressing environments,
stressing the system at random. These random shocks may have non‐ignorable effects on …

This manuscript studies the stochastic comparisons of the second-order statistics from
dependent or independent and heterogeneous modified proportional hazard rate …

Copula is one of the widely used techniques to describe the dependency structure between
components of a system. Among all existing copulas, the family of Archimedean copulas is …

In this article, we consider stochastic comparisons between second-order statistics arising
from general exponentiated location-scale models. When the random variables are …

Shaked and Shanthikumar [425] introduced the excess wealth transform and the related
excess wealth order. A lot of research activities have taken place on this topic lately. In this …
