Abstract
In this paper we establish multivariate likelihood ratio, hazard rate, and reversed hazard rate stochastic orderings between two mixtures of multivariate distributions. The new results in this paper extend some recent results in the literature by assuming that the components of the mixture can be conditionally dependent.
