Abstract

In this paper, we consider finite mixture models with components having distributions from the location-scale family. We then discuss the usual stochastic order and the reversed hazard rate order of such finite mixture models under some majorization conditions on location, scale and mixing probabilities as model parameters.

Keywords

finite mixture models location parameters location-scale distribution multivariate chain majorization order reversed hazard rate order scale parameters usual stochastic order
