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.
The problem of comparing two treatments with respect to a continuous response variable, following an exponential distribution, is considered. It is assumed that a relevant comparative clinical trial is planned t o either (i) test that the effect of one treatment is larger or not much smaller than th
