Abstract

Let (X1,X2,...,Xn) and (Y1,Y2,...,Yn) be gamma random vectors with common shape parameter [alpha] (0 1, we can only compare the the first- and last-order statistics. Some earlier results on stochastically comparing proportional hazard functions are shown to be special cases of our results.
