Stochastic comparisons of parallel systems with starting devices

In this paper, we consider stochastic comparisons of parallel systems with location-scale distributed components equipped with starting devices. We specifically establish the hazard rate order of parallel systems with two location-scale distributed components equipped with starting devices when the starting devices have different probabilities but with the same location-scale distributed component. Next, we present the usual stochastic order of parallel systems with n location-scale distributed components equipped with starting devices. We also provide some numerical examples to illustrate all the comparison results established here.
