Stochastic comparisons of series and parallel systems with independent heterogeneous lower-truncated Weibull components

In this paper, we discuss stochastic comparisons of series and parallel systems with independent heterogeneous lower-truncated Weibull components. When a system with possibly different shape and scale parameters and its matrix of parameters changes to another matrix in a certain mathematical sense, we study the hazard rate order of lifetimes of series systems and the usual stochastic order of lifetimes of parallel systems.
