Abstract
Abstract.Populations of items continuously manufactured and incepted into operation are characterized by the corresponding distribution of a random age at each instant of chronological time. In this study, we consider heterogeneous populations with lifetime distributions indexed by a frailty parameter. Two approaches to defining the age composition for the described populations are described and the corresponding stochastic comparisons are considered.Keywords: Age compositionfrailtyheterogeneous populationsproduction ratestochastic comparisons2010 Mathematics Subject Classification:: 60H3 AcknowledgmentsThe authors greatly thank the reviewers for their helpful comments and advice, which have improved the presentation of this paper.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authorsAdditional informationFundingThe work of the first author was supported by Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) funded by the Ministry of Education (Grant Number: 2019R1A6A1A11051177).

期刊介绍:
Stochastic Models publishes papers discussing the theory and applications of probability as they arise in the modeling of phenomena in the natural sciences, social sciences and technology. It presents novel contributions to mathematical theory, using structural, analytical, algorithmic or experimental approaches. In an interdisciplinary context, it discusses practical applications of stochastic models to diverse areas such as biology, computer science, telecommunications modeling, inventories and dams, reliability, storage, queueing theory, mathematical finance and operations research.
