A NOTE ON PRESERVATION OF THE GENERALIZED TTT TRANSFORM
ORDER
Maria Kamińska-Zabierowska
Abstract: The generalized total time on test (GTTT) transform with respect to the nonnegative
function was introduced by Li and Shaked (2007). Comparing GTTT transforms
of two distributions is useful in reliability theory and actuarial science, see, e.g.,
Li and Shaked (2007), Shaked et al. (2010). In 2009, Bartoszewicz and Benduch
formulated the preserving theorem for some orders under the GTTT transform. We
complete it with result for the GTTT transform order with respect to the nonnegative
function. We give also some conditions for preservation under mixtures of exponential
distributions and extend the theorem proved by Bartoszewicz and Skolimowska
(2006).
