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.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHazard rate orderingReliability systemsSamaniego's signatureMinimal and maximal signaturesConference ObjectQ4Q318410811095WOS:000387113000010
