Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study likelihood ratio order for mixture and its components via their Glaser’s functions for weighted distributions. So, some theoretical examples using exponential family and their mixtures are presented. Design/methodology/approach First, Glaser’s...

For heterogeneous Weibull samples with a common shape parameter and weakly majorized scale parameters, we study the likelihood ratio order and the stochastic order between minimums of independent and dependent samples, respectively. Also, an application in fabric strength is presented.
