Tests for stochastic orders and mean order statistics

چکیده
The aim of this note is to emphasize the fact, not observed previously in the literature, that many discrepancy measures used in tests related to different stochastic orders can be expressed as expectations of order statistics. In this way, we provide a new meaning to the corresponding test statistics which allows us to understand better, and potentially improve, the testing procedures. As illustration, we consider tests to detect overdispersion with respect to a specific probability model. In this setting, a test for the Weibull distribution is discussed in detail.

The behavior of the reliability functions and stochastic orders in family of the Kumaraswamy-G distributions
The Kumaraswamy distribution is a two-parameter distribution on the interval (0,1) that is very similar to beta distribution. This distribution is applicable to many natural phenomena whose outcomes have lower and upper bounds, such as the proportion of people from society who consume certain products in a given interval. In this paper, we introduce the family of Kumaraswamy-G distribution, an...
متن کاملCesaro Supermodular Order and Archimedean Copulas
In this paper, we introduce a new kind of order, Cesaro supermodular order, which includes supermodular order and stochastic order. For this new order, we show that it almost fulfils all desirable properties of a multivariate positive dependence order that have been proposed by Joe (1997). Also, we obtain some relations between it with other orders. Finally, we consider different issues related...

Time series techniques are applied to Ghara-Aghaj flow records, in order to generate forecast values of the mean monthly river flows. The study of data and its correlogram shows the effect of seasonality and provide no evidence of trend. The autoregressive models of order one and two (AR1, AR2), moving average model of order one and ARMA (1,1) model are fitted to the stationary series, where th...

In this paper we prove some stochastic comparisons results for progressive type II censored order statistics. The problem of stochastically comparing concomitants of the two progressive type II censored order statistics with possibly different schemes, under different kinds of dependence between X and Y is considered and it is proved that if Y is stochastically increasing (decreasing) in X, ...
متن کاملApplications of TP2 Functions in Theory of Stochastic Orders: A Review of some Useful Results
In the literature on Statistical Reliability Theory and Stochastic Orders, several results based on theory of TP2/RR2 functions have been extensively used in establishing various properties. In this paper, we provide a review of some useful results in this direction and highlight connections between them.
