Abstract

In this article we investigate conditions on the underlying distribution functions on which the sequential order statistics are based, to obtain stochastic comparisons of sequential order statistics in the multivariate likelihood ratio, the multivariate hazard rate, and the usual multivariate stochastic orders. Some applications of the main results are also given.
