Level-crossing Ordering of Semi-markov Processes and Markov Chains

We extend the definition of level-crossing ordering of stochastic processes, proposed by Irle andGani (2001), to the case in which the times to exceed levels are compared using an arbitrary stochastic order, and work, in particular, with integral stochastic orders closed for convolution. Using a sample-path approach, we establish level-crossing ordering results for the case in which the slower ...

Level Crossing Ordering of Skip-free-to-the-right Continuous-time Markov Chains

As proposed by Irle and Gani in 2001, a process X is said to be slower in level crossing than a process Y if it takesX stochastically longer to exceed any given level than it does Y . In this paper, we extend a result of Irle (2003), relative to the level crossing ordering of uniformizable skip-free-to-the-right continuous-time Markov chains, to derive a new set of sufficient conditions for the...
