✦ Synopsis

Mixtures of exponential distributions are treated as the Laplace transforms of mixing distributions. Using results on stochastic orders based on the Laplace transform order relations for the mixtures are derived. Preservation of some stochastic orders under the mixtures is studied.

We obtain some new results on normalized spacings of independent exponential random variables with possibly different scale parameters. It is shown that the density functions of the individual normalized spacings in this case are mixtures of exponential distributions and, as a result, they are log-c

Recently, Bartoszewicz (1999, Statist. Probab. Lett. 42, 207-212), has given characterizations of stochastic orders based on the Laplace transform and obtained moment inequalities for ordered distributions. In this note, we give some relations between these orders and inÿnitely divisible distributio

In this paper we ÿrst obtain several results which compare mixtures of distributions in the (increasing) convex and concave stochastic orders. We employ these results to derive relatively weak conditions on the intensity functions of a pair of nonhomogeneous Poisson processes (in fact, on the distri
