Conditional distributions of generalized order statistics and some characterizations 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Claudia Keseling 《Metrika》1999,49(1):27-40
Generalized order statistics have been introduced in Kamps (1995a). They enable a unified approach to several models of ordered
random variables, e.g. (ordinary) order statistics, record values, sequential order statistics, record values from non-identical
distributions. The purpose of this paper is to develop conditional distributions of one generalized order statistic given
another and to characterize the underlying continuous distribution by different conditional expectations. Well-known results
for ordinary order statistics and record values are extended to generalized order statistics.

Let f
*,r
, r ≥ 1, denote the density function of rth uniform generalized order statistics as defined by Kamps (1995) or Cramer and Kamps (2003). We prove the following variation
diminishing property: the number of zeros in (0,1) of any linear combination does not exceed the number of sign changes in the sequence (a
1, . . . ,a
r
). This result is applied to study monotonicity and convexity properties of f

In the present paper, we give some general theorems on characterizations based on conditional expectations of the functions
of order statistics. In addition, we indicate special forms of the theorems for the familiar probability distributions. 相似文献

This paper deals with the estimation of survivor function
using optimally selected order statistics when the sample sizen is large. We use the estimates (μ*,σ*) based on the optimum set of order statistics
for largen and fixedk (≤n) such that the estimate
has optimum variance property. The asymptotic relative efficiency of such an estimator is compared with the one based on
the complete sample. The general theory of the problem and specific details with respect to a two-parameter Normal, Logistic,
Exponential and Pareto distributions is considered as an example. 相似文献

Sharp lower and upper bounds on expected values of generalized order statistics are proven by the use of Moriguti's inequality combined with the Young inequality. The bounds are expressed in terms of exponential moments or entropy. They are attainable providing new characterizations of some nontrivial distributions.

Let (Xm )∞1 be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables. We give sufficient conditions for the fractional part of rnax (X1 ., Xn ) to converge in distribution, as n ←∞ to a random variable with a uniform distribution on [0, 1). 相似文献

In this work we propose a technique of estimating the location parameter μ and scale parameter σ of log-gamma distribution
by U-statistics constructed by taking best linear functions of order statistics as kernels. The efficiency comparison of the proposed
estimators with respect to maximum likelihood estimators is also made. 相似文献

We propose a general class of models and a unified Bayesian inference methodology for flexibly estimating the density of a response variable conditional on a possibly high-dimensional set of covariates. Our model is a finite mixture of component models with covariate-dependent mixing weights. The component densities can belong to any parametric family, with each model parameter being a deterministic function of covariates through a link function. Our MCMC methodology allows for Bayesian variable selection among the covariates in the mixture components and in the mixing weights. The model’s parameterization and variable selection prior are chosen to prevent overfitting. We use simulated and real data sets to illustrate the methodology. 相似文献

We evaluate the Fisher information (FI) contained in a collection of order statistics and their concomitants from a bivariate
random sample. Special attention is given to Type II censored samples. We present a general decomposition result and recurrence
relations that are useful in finding the FI in all types of censored samples. We also obtain some asymptotic results for the
FI. For the bivariate normal parent, we obtain explicit and asymptotic expressions for the elements of the FI matrix for Type
II censored samples. We discuss implications of our findings on inference on the bivariate normal parameters, especially on
the correlation.

In this paper, we discuss stochastic comparisons of lifetimes of series and parallel systems with heterogeneous exponentiated gamma components. The results established here are developed in two directions. First, when a system possibly has different shape and scale parameters and the matrix of those different parameters following the chain majorization order, we study the reversed hazard rate order of parallel systems and the usual stochastic order of series systems. Next, by using the concept of vector majorization, we establish the usual stochastic order of series systems and the reversed hazard rate order of parallel systems. 相似文献

Sharp bounds on moments of generalized order statistics 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Sharp lower and upper bounds on expected values of generalized order statistics are proven by the use of rearranged Moriguti's
inequality. The method yields improvements of known quantile and moment bounds for expectations of order and record statistics
based on independent identically distributed random variables. The bounds are attainable providing new characterizations of
two-point distributions.

Summary The gamma process is determined by the form of conditional expectations and conditional variances. Also a new characterization
of the gamma law is obtained and then applied to characterize the gamma process among the processes with independent increments. 相似文献

The Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) theory of causation is based on the assumption that randomly sampling the variables of a causal system will yield a joint probability distribution that satisfies the Markovian condition. It is shown here that this condition can be split into two parts, one of which is named the Millsian condition. It is further shown that the Millsian condition alone implies that causally unrelated sets of variables are conditionally independent given their common causes, very likely a key requirement stated by John Stuart Mill 150 years ago. In Millsian causation, unlike Markovian causation, it is possible for an indirect cause to be associated with its effect even when controlling for the intermediate direct causes. This phenomenon is explained by taking into account the existence of potential causal modulation. 相似文献

The problem of comparing the frequentist evidence and the Bayesian evidence in the one‐sided testing problems has been widely treated and many researches revealed that these two methods can reach an agreement approximately. However, most of the previous work dealt mainly with situations without nuisance parameters. Since the presence of nuisance parameters is very common in practice, whether these two kinds of evidence still reach an agreement is a problem worthy of study. In this article, we establish in a systematic way under the exponential distributions the agreement of the Bayesian evidence and the generalized frequentist evidence (the generalized P‐value) for a variety of one‐sided testing problems where the nuisance parameters are involved. 相似文献

Let , r ≥ 1, denote generalized order statistics, with arbitrary parameters , based on distribution function F. In this paper we characterize continuous distributions F by the regression of adjacent generalized order statistics, i.e. where are continuous and increasing functions and ψ is strictly increasing. Further we investigate in detail the case when ψ(x) = x and g is a linear function of the form g(x) = cx + d for some . 相似文献

Based on linear combinations of intermediate order statistics, we introduce a new class of estimators for the exponent of a distribution function F with a regularly varying upper tail. We prove asymptotic normality and we make a comparison with existing proposals using the mean squared error as criterion. 相似文献

General inequalities of Hölder type between moments of order statistics and moments of record values respectively are derived. Special choices of the involved sample sizes and ranks and discussions of when equality is attained in these inequalities yield several characterizations of well known distributions, such as the uniform, polynomial, Pareto, reflected Pareto, exponential, Weibull distribution and some others. 相似文献
