Abstract

Inequalities, local dependence orderings of reliability or survival functions of random variables are introduced and discussed. The notions of hazard dependence, stochastic orderings and exchangeability are studied and various important inequalities obtained. Examples and applications including inequalities and association for families of distribution functions satisfying the notions of stochastic and hazard dependence are presented.
