Abstract

‎Let $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ be a random sample from a distribution‎ ‎function $F$ that denote lifetimes of $n$ components of a coherent‎ ‎system‎. ‎Suppose the system fails at $X_{k:n}$‎, ‎the $k$th order‎ ‎statistic of $X$'s‎, ‎since we are not aware of the exact time at which the system has been failed‎, ‎the residual lifetimes of the remaining $n-k$ components‎, ‎denoted‎ ‎by $X^{(k)}_1,\ldots,X^{(k)}_{n-k}$‎, ‎are no longer independent but‎ ‎exchangeable‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎multivariate stochastic comparisons‎ ‎of two vectors of lifetimes of the remaining components in the two‎ ‎sample problems are studied‎. ‎Some sufficient conditions under which multivariate mixture models are compared stochastically with respect to the multivariate likelihood ratio ordering‎, ‎the multivariate hazard rate ordering and the multivariate reversed hazard rate ordering are provided‎. ‎These comparisons are done for different choices of the mixed distributions as well as mixing distributions‎. ‎The new results obtained are applied to compare multivariate mixtures of location models‎.
