Abstract

Two multivariate hazard rate stochastic orders are introduced and studied. Their meaning, properties, and relationship to other common stochastic orders are examined and investigated. Some examples that illustrate the theory are detailed. Finally, some applications of the new orders in reliability theory and in actuarial science are described.
