We review some of the recent developments in the area of stochastic comparisons of order statistics and sample spacings. We consider the cases when the parent observations are identically as well as nonidentically distributed. But most of the time we will be assuming that the observations are independent. The case of independent exponentials with unequal scale parameters as well as the proportional hazard rate model is discussed in detail.

AbstractWe investigate stochastic comparisons of parallel systems (corresponding to the largest-order statistics) with respect to the reversed hazard rate and likelihood ratio orders for the proportional reversed hazard rate (PRHR) model. As applications of the main results, we obtain the equivalent characterizations of stochastic comparisons with respect to the reversed hazard rate and likelihood rate orders for the exponentiated generalized gamma and exponentiated Pareto distributions. Our results recover and strengthen some recent results in the literature.

With the development of the economy, people have higher request for the time. Studying the choice of travel about rail passengers becomes more significant. Due to these problem above and using survival analysis method, this paper builds travel time survival model based on questionnaire and have a whole analysis of the travel time of the rail passenger. Then, it concludes that most of the rail passengers’ travel time is below five hours. At last, this paper builds COX proportional hazard rate model of travel time and study the factors about travel time. The result demonstrates that the factor about whether it is students or not, family income, whether it is travelling and the number of packages has a significant influence on the travel time.

A parallel system with heterogeneous exponential component lifetimes is shown to be more skewed (according to the convex transform order) than the system with independent and identically distributed exponential components. As a consequence, equivalent conditions for comparing the variabilities of the largest order statistics from heterogeneous and homogeneous exponential samples in the sense of the dispersive order and the right-spread order are established. A sufficient condition is also given for the proportional hazard rate model.
