摘要
The purpose of this paper is to study two notions of stochastic comparisons of nonnegative random variables via ratios that are determined by their Laplace transforms. Some interpretations of the new orders are given, and various properties of them are derived. The relationships to other stochastic orders are also studied. Finally, some applications in reliability theory are described.
