Stochastic Order and Generalized Weighted Mean Invariance [PDF]
Entropy, 2021 In this paper, we present order invariance theoretical results for weighted quasi-arithmetic means of a monotonic series of numbers. The quasi-arithmetic mean, or Kolmogorov–Nagumo mean, generalizes the classical mean and appears in many disciplines ...

Antisymmetry of the Stochastical Order on all Ordered Topological Spaces [PDF]
Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2019 In this short note, we prove that the stochastic order of Radon probability measures on any ordered topological space is antisymmetric. This has been known before in various special cases. We give a simple and elementary proof of the general result.

Second-order stochastic comparisons of order statistics [PDF]
Statistics, 2021 We study the problem of comparing ageing patterns of the lifetime of k-out-of-n systems. Mathematically, this reduces to being able to decide about a stochastic ordering relationship between different order statistics. We discuss such relationships with respect to second-order stochastic dominance, obtaining characterizations through the verification ...

On the Probability of Finding Extremes in a Random Set
Mathematics, 2022 We consider a sequence Zjj≥1 of i.i.d. d-dimensional random vectors and for every n≥1 consider the sample Sn={Z1,Z2,…,Zn}. We say that Zj is a “leader” in the sample Sn if Zj≥Zk,∀k∈{1,2,…,n}and Zj is an “anti-leader” if Zj≤Zk,∀k∈{1,2,…,n}. After all, the

Residual Probability Function for Dependent Lifetimes
Mathematics, 2021 In this paper, the residual probability function is applied to analyze the survival probability of two used components relative to each other in the case when their lifetimes are dependent. The expression of the function by copulas has been derived along

Stochastic Comparisons of Some Distances between Random Variables
Mathematics, 2021 The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we show that the expectation of the absolute value of the difference between two copies, not necessarily independent, of a random variable is a measure of its variability in the sense of Bickel and Lehmann (1979).

Stochastic Comparisons of Weighted Distributions and Their Mixtures
Entropy, 2020 In this paper, various stochastic ordering properties of a parametric family of weighted distributions and the associated mixture model are developed. The effect of stochastic variation of the output random variable with respect to the parameter and/or ...

Stochastic orders of log-epsilon-skew-normal distributions
Analele Stiintifice ale Universitatii Ovidius Constanta: Seria Matematica, 2022 The log-epsilon-skew-normal distributions family is generalized class of log-normal distribution. Is widely used to model non-negative data in many areas of applied research.
