Abstract
The most important common order that is studied in this chapter is the Laplace transform order. Like the orders that were discussed in Chapter 4, the Laplace transform order compares random variables according to both their “location” and their “spread”. Two other useful orders, based on ratios of Laplace transforms, are also discussed in this chapter. In addition, some other related orders are investigated in this chapter as well.
