Network Reliability Modeling Based on a Geometric Counting Process
In this paper, we investigate the reliability and stochastic properties of an n-component network under the assumption that the components of the network fail according to a counting process called a geometric counting process (GCP).

Stochastic Runge–Kutta methods for multi-dimensional Itô stochastic differential algebraic equations
In this paper, we discuss the numerical solutions to index 1 stochastic differential algebraic equations. We introduce a new class of weak second-order stochastic Runge–Kutta methods for finding the numerical approximate solutions to multi-dimensional ...

Conservative Continuous-Stage Stochastic Runge–Kutta Methods for Stochastic Differential Equations
In this paper, we develop a new class of conservative continuous-stage stochastic Runge–Kutta methods for solving stochastic differential equations with a conserved quantity. The order conditions of the continuous-stage stochastic Runge–Kutta methods are

Distorted stochastic dominance: A generalized family of stochastic orders [PDF]
We study a generalized family of stochastic orders, semiparametrized by a distortion function H, namely H-distorted stochastic dominance, which may determine a continuum of dominance relations from the first- to the second-order stochastic dominance (and beyond).

Stochastic Properties of the Weighted Hazard Rate Order [PDF]
The hazard rate order between two weighted distributions with a given weight function is considered as a new stochastic order called weighted hazard rate order. The influences of biased sampling methods on properties of the hazard rate order are usefully

Stochastic Comparisons of Lifetimes of Used Standby Systems
In this paper, we first establish upper stochastic bounds on the lifetime of a used cold standby system with arbitrary age, using the likelihood ratio order and the usual stochastic order.

Discrete Analogue of Fishburn’s Fractional-Order Stochastic Dominance
A stochastic dominance (SD) relation can be defined by two different perspectives: One from the view of distributions, and the other one from the view of expected utilities.

Characterisation of a multivariate stochastic ordering [PDF]
The multivariate stochastic ordering induced by the convex nondecreasing functions compares a combination of size and variability of random vectors. Closely following methods developed by Strassen, we show that two probability measures are ordered in this way if and only if they are the marginals of some submartingale.
