Abstract
This paper is devoted to the study of the comparison of generalized order statistics in terms of the total time on test transform and the excess wealth orders. We provide some extensions of previous results in the literature for usual order statistics and generalized order statistics. These results involve results for the minimum of a random vector of generalized order statistics.
