Hazard rate comparison of parallel systems with heterogeneous gamma components

Abstract

We compare the hazard rate functions of the largest order statistic arising from independent heterogeneous gamma random variables and that arising from i.i.d. gamma random variables. Specifically, let X1,…,Xn be independent gamma random variables with Xi having shape parameter 0
