Abstract

To date, research in shock models has been primarily concerned with the classpreserving properties of certain shock and damage kernels. This article focuses on the order-preserving properties of those kernels. We show that they preserve stochastic ordering, hazard rate ordering, backward hazard rate ordering, and likelihood ratio ordering.
