Abstract Pareto distribution is an important distribution in extreme value theory. In this paper, we consider parallel systems with Pareto components and study the effect of heterogeneity on skewness of such systems. It is shown that, when the lifetimes of components have different shape parameters, the parallel system with heterogeneous Pareto component lifetimes is more skewed than the system with independent and identically distributed Pareto components. However, for the case when the lifetimes of components have different scale parameters, the result gets reversed in the sense of star ordering. We also establish the relation between star ordering and dispersive ordering by extending the result of Deshpande and Kochar [(1983). Dispersive ordering is the same as tail ordering. Advances in Applied Probability 15(3): 686–687] from support $(0, \infty )$ to general supports $(a, \infty )$ , $a > 0$ . As a consequence, we obtain some new results on dispersion of order statistics from heterogeneous Pareto samples with respect to dispersive ordering.

Abstract In this paper we consider general class of distribution. Recurrence relations satisfied by the quotient moments and conditional quotient moments of lower generalized order statistics for a general class of distribution are derived. Further the results are deduced for quotient moments of order statistics and lower records and characterization of this distribution by considering the recurrence relation of conditional expectation for general class of distribution satisfied by the quotient moment of the lower generalized order statistics.
