On stochastic comparisons of excess times
نویسندگان
چکیده
A stationary renewal process based on iid random variables Xi is observed at a given time. The excess time, that is, the residual time until the next renewal event, is of course smaller then the total current X which consists of the residual time plus the current age. Nevertheless in certain types of data the distribution of the excess times is stochastically larger than that of Xi’s. We find necessary and sufficient conditions that explain this phenomenon, and related results on stochastic orderings arising from observations on renewal processes.

Stochastic bounds for a single server queue with general retrial times
We propose to use a mathematical method based on stochastic comparisons of Markov chains in order to derive performance indice bounds. The main goal of this paper is to investigate various monotonicity properties of a single server retrial queue with first-come-first-served (FCFS) orbit and general retrial times using the stochastic ordering techniques.
متن کاملOn Renewal Processes and Replacement Policies from NBUC and NBU(2) Units
In this paper we consider new results about stochastic comparisons of the excess lifetime at different times of a renewal process when the interarrival times belong to NBUC and NBU(2) aging classes. Also we provide some comparisons of age and block replacement policies when the underlying distribution belongs to NBUC and NBU(2) aging classes.
متن کاملProgressive Type II Censored Order Statistics and their Concomitants: Some Stochastic Comparisons Results
In this paper we prove some stochastic comparisons results for progressive type II censored order statistics. The problem of stochastically comparing concomitants of the two progressive type II censored order statistics with possibly different schemes, under different kinds of dependence between X and Y is considered and it is proved that if Y is stochastically increasing (decreasing) in X, ...

متن کاملDetermining Optimal Number of Suppliers in a Multiple Sourcing Model under Stochastic Lead Times
Employing more than one supplier and splitting orders between them is a strategy employed in supply chains to lessen the lead-time risk in unstable environments. In this paper we present a multiple-sourcing inventory system with stochastic lead-times and constant demand controlled by a continuous review, reorder point-order quantity inventory policy. We consider the situation in which the order...
