Abstract

Let Xλ1,,Xλn X_{\lambda_1},\ldots,X_{\lambda_n} be a set of dependent and non-negative random variables share a survival copula and let Yi=IpiXλiY_i= I_{p_i}X_{\lambda_i}, i=1,,ni=1,\ldots,n, where Ip1,,IpnI_{p_1},\ldots,I_{p_n} be independent Bernoulli random variables independent of XλiX_{\lambda_i}'s, with E[Ipi]=pi{\rm E}[I_{p_i}]=p_i, i=1,,ni=1,\ldots,n. In actuarial sciences, YiY_i corresponds to the claim amount in a portfolio of risks. This paper considers comparing the smallest claim amounts from two sets of interdependent portfolios, in the sense of usual and likelihood ratio orders, when the variables in one set have the parameters λ1,,λn\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_n and p1,,pnp_1,\ldots,p_n and the variables in the other set have the parameters λ1,,λn\lambda^{*}_1,\ldots,\lambda^{*}_n and p1,,pnp^*_1,\ldots,p^*_n. Also, we present some bounds for survival function of the smallest claim amount in a portfolio. To illustrate validity of the results, we serve some applicable models.
