Stochastic comparisons of series and parallel systems with heterogeneous components

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss stochastic comparisons of parallel systems with independent heterogeneous exponentiated Nadarajah-Haghighi (ENH) components in terms of the usual stochastic order, dispersive order, convex transform order and the likelihood ratio order. In the presence of the Archimedean copula, we study stochastic comparison of series dependent systems in terms of the usual stochastic order.
