Negative dependence and stochastic orderings
We explore negative dependence and stochastic orderings, showing that if an integer-valued random variable W satisfies a certain negative dependence assumption, then W is smaller (in the convex sense) than a Poisson variable of equal mean. Such W include those which may be written as a sum of totally negatively dependent indicators. This is generalised to other stochastic orderings. Application...
متن کاملStochastic ordering of risks, influence of dependence and a.s. constructions
In this paper we review and extend some key results on the stochastic ordering of risks and on bounding the influence of stochastic dependence on risk functionals. The first part of the paper is concerned with a.s. constructions of random vectors and with diffusion kernel type comparisons which are of importance for various comparison results. In the second part we consider generalizations of t...
متن کاملNegative Dependence Through the FKG Inequality
We investigate random variables arising in occupancy problems, and show the variables to be negatively associated, that is, negatively dependent in a strong sense. Our proofs are based on the FKG correlation inequality, and they suggest a useful, general technique for proving negative dependence among random variables. We also show that in the special case of two binary random variables, the no...
متن کاملConvexification of Stochastic Ordering
We consider sets defined by the usual stochastic ordering relation and by the second order stochastic dominance relation. Under fairy general assumptions we prove that in the space of integrable random variables the closed convex hull of the first set is equal to the second set.
متن کاملThe Supermodular Stochastic Ordering
In many economic applications involving comparisons of multivariate distributions, supermodularity of an objective function is a natural property for capturing a preference for greater interdependence. One multivariate distribution dominates another according to the supermodular stochastic ordering if it yields a higher expectation than the other for all supermodular objective functions. We pro...
