Title
Preservation of association in multivariate shock and claim models
Abstract
Consider m counting processes @C"i,i=1,2,...,m, and a random vector of positive integers M=(M"1,M"2,...,M"m). Denote by X"i"j the jth interpoint interval in the process @C"i,i=1,2,...,m,j=1,2,..., and define Z"i=@?"j"="1^M^"^iX"i"j,i=1,2,...,m. It is assumed that M is independent of the @C"i's, however, the processes @C"i's are not necessarily mutually independent. In this paper we identify some situations in which the positive (negative) association of the M"i's implies the positive (negative) association of the Z"i's. Some applications in reliability theory and in insurance are indicated.
