Abstract

Recently new partial orderings s-SFR, s-FR, s-ST, s-CV and s-CX have been defined in the literature. These are more general in the sense that most of the earlier known partial orderings reduce to particular cases of these orderings. Moreover, these orderings have helped in defining a new and useful ageing criterion. In this paper, we discuss preservation properties of these orderings under mixtures. Results are expected to be useful in engineering and reliability, where mixtures of distributions arise naturally in numerous situations. Moreover, existing results, specifically for LR, FR and ST orderings under the operation of mixtures, reduce to special cases.
