    Stochastic Comparisons Between Lifetimes of Reliability Systems With Exchangeable Components
    (Springer, 2016) Koutras, Markos V.; Triantafyllou, Ioannis S.; Eryilmaz, Serkan
    In this article we present several results pertaining to the stochastic comparison of the lifetimes of two reliability systems with exchangeable components. More specifically, we provide signature-based sufficient and necessary conditions for establishing hazard rate and reverse hazard rate orderings. Finally, focusing on the class of consecutive-type systems, we illustrate how the general results can be exploited to deduce several stochastic orderings among members of this class.

    Compound Geometric Distribution of Order k
    (Springer, 2017) Koutras, Markos V.; Eryilmaz, Serkan
    The distribution of the number of trials until the first k consecutive successes in a sequence of Bernoulli trials with success probability p is known as geometric distribution of order k. Let T (k) be a random variable that follows a geometric distribution of order k, and Y (1),Y (2),aEuro broken vertical bar a sequence of independent and identically distributed discrete random variables which are independent of T (k) . In the present article we develop some results on the distribution of the compound random variable Y-t.
