This paper discusses stochastic comparisons of the parallel and series systems comprising multiple-outlier scale components. Under uncertain conditions on the baseline reversed hazard rate, hazard rate functions and scale parameters, the likelihood ratio, dispersive and mean residual life orders between parallel and series systems are established. We then apply the results for two exceptional cases of the multiple-outlier scale model: gamma and Pareto multiple-outlier components to illustrate the found results.

This paper discusses the hazard rate order of the fail-safe systems arising from two sets of independent multiple-outlier scale distributed components. Under certain conditions on scale parameters in the scale model and the submajorization order between the sample size vectors, the hazard rate ordering between the corresponding fail-safe systems from multiple-outlier scale random variables is established. Under certain conditions on the Archimedean copula and scale parameters, we also discuss the usual stochastic order of these systems with dependent components.
