Abstract

In this paper, we study some stochastic comparisons of the maxima in two multiple-outlier geometric samples based on the likelihood ratio order, hazard rate order, and usual stochastic order. We establish a sufficient condition on parameter vectors for the likelihood ratio ordering to hold. For the special case when n = 2, it is proved that the p-larger order between the two parameter vectors is equivalent to the hazard rate order as well as usual stochastic order between the two maxima. Some numerical examples are presented for illustrating the established results.
