Abstract

We consider here two finite (arithmetic) mixture models (FMMs) with general parametric family of distributions. Sufficient conditions for the usual stochastic order and hazard rate order are then established under the assumption that the model parameter vectors are connected in p-larger order, reciprocal majorization order and weak super/sub majorization order. Furthermore, we establish hazard rate order and reversed hazard rate order between two mixture random variables (MRVs) when a matrix of model parameters and mixing proportions changes to another matrix in some mathematical sense. We have also considered scale family of distributions to establish some sufficient conditions under which the MRVs have hazard rate order. Several examples are presented to illustrate and clarify all the results established here.
