Abstract :
A multivariate frailty model in which survival function depends on baseline distributions of components and the frailty random variable is considered. Since misspecification in choice of frailty distribution and/or baseline distribution may affect the distribution of multivariate frailty model, using theory of stochastic orders, we compare multivariate frailty models arising from different choices of frailty distribution.
