Pointwise nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of stochastically ordered survivor functions.
In this paper, we consider estimation of survivor functions from groups of observations with right-censored data when the groups are subject to a stochastic ordering constraint. Many methods and algorithms have been proposed to estimate distribution functions under such restrictions, but none have completely satisfactory properties when the observations are censored. We propose a pointwise cons...
متن کاملSemi-Nonparametric Methods for Detecting Latent Non-normality: A Fusion of Latent Trait and Ordered Latent Class Modeling.
Ordered latent class analysis (OLCA) can be used to approximate unidimensional latent distributions. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the method of OLCA in detecting non-normality of an unobserved continuous variable (i.e., a common factor) used to explain the covariation between dichotomous item-level responses. Using simulation, we compared a model in which probabilities of cla...
متن کاملStochastically Ordered Synchronized Queues
We consider a synchronized queueing system in which customers arrive according to a Poisson process to a station consisting of c parallel servers, each with its own queue. Upon arrival, customers split into parts and each part joins the corresponding queue. Under the assumption that the service requirements of the c parts of each customer are strongly ordered we obtain the joint distribution of...
متن کاملStochastically ordered multiple regression.
In various application areas, prior information is available about the direction of the effects of multiple predictors on the conditional response distribution. For example, in epidemiology studies of potentially adverse exposures and continuous health responses, one can typically assume a priori that increasing the level of an exposure does not lead to an improvement in the health response. Su...
