Tsallis Entropy in Consecutive k-out-of-n Good Systems: Bounds, Characterization, and Testing for Exponentiality [PDF]

Entropy
This study explores the application of Tsallis entropy in evaluating uncertainty within the framework of consecutive k-out-of-n good systems, which are widely utilized in various reliability and engineering contexts.

An improved adaptive variable neighborhood search algorithm for stochastic order allocation problem [PDF]

Scientific Reports
In practical supply chain operations, efficient order allocation significantly enhances the overall efficiency of the supply chain. Real production environments are plagued by numerous uncertainties, such as unpredictable customer orders, which greatly ...

Sufficient Conditions for Some Stochastic Orders of Discrete Random Variables with Applications in Reliability

Mathematics, 2022
In this paper we focus on providing sufficient conditions for some well-known stochastic orders in reliability but dealing with the discrete versions of them, filling a gap in the literature.

Stochastically ordered multiple regression [PDF]

Biostatistics, 2010
In various application areas, prior information is available about the direction of the effects of multiple predictors on the conditional response distribution. For example, in epidemiology studies of potentially adverse exposures and continuous health responses, one can typically assume a priori that increasing the level of an exposure does not lead ...

Reliability Analysis of the Proportional Mean Departure Time Model

Journal of Mathematics, 2022
In this article, the mean lifetime of an individual whose lives lost based on a function of the time before which the individual has passed away is considered.

Properties of Discrete Reversed Aging Intensity Function [PDF]

Mathematics Interdisciplinary Research, 2022
In this paper, we discuss the properties of reversed aging intensity (RAI) function for discrete random variable and study its nature for some distributions. Further, using this function we characterize some discrete related distributions.

RELATIONS BETWEEN STOCHASTIC ORDERINGS AND GENERALIZED STOCHASTIC PRECEDENCE [PDF]

Probability in the Engineering and Informational Sciences, 2015
The concept of stochastic precedence between two real-valued random variables has often emerged in different applied frameworks. In this paper, we analyze several aspects of a more general, and completely natural, concept of stochastic precedence that also had appeared in the literature.

Stochastic Partial Ordering

The Annals of Probability, 1978
A probability measure $P$ on a partially ordered Polish space $E$ is called stochastically smaller than $Q$ (notation: $P \leqslant Q$) if $\int f dP \leqslant \int f dQ$ holds for all bounded increasing measurable $f$. We investigate the question when for a stochastically increasing family $\{P_t, t \in \mathbb{R}\}$ there exists an increasing process

Relative stochastic comparisons of additive frailty models

Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2016
This article is devoted to the proposal of two relative stochastic orders namely the relative hazard rate and relative mean residual life orders. These stochastic orders are applied to provide some stochastic comparisons between two additive frailty ...

Strategic information transmission and stochastic orders [PDF]

, 2012
I develop new results on uniqueness and comparative statics of equilibria in the Crawford and Sobel (1982) strategic information transmission game. For a class of utility functions, I demonstrate that logconcavity of the density implies uniqueness of ...
