Joint weak hazard rate order under non-symmetric copulas
A weak version of the joint hazard rate order, useful to stochastically compare not independent random variables, has been recently defined and studied in [4]. In the present paper, further results on this order are proved and discussed. In particular, some statements dealing with the relationships between the jointweak hazard rate order and other stochastic orders are generalized to the case of non symmetric copulas, and its relations with some multivariate aging notions (studied in [2]) are presented....
Equivalent or absolutely continuous probability measures with given marginals
Let (X,A) and (Y,B) be measurable spaces. Supposewe are given a probability α on A, a probability β on B and a probability μ on the product σ-field A ⊗ B. Is there a probability ν on A⊗B, with marginals α and β, such that ν ≪ μ or ν ~ μ ? Such a ν, provided it exists, may be useful with regard to equivalent martingale measures and mass transportation. Various conditions for the existence of ν are provided, distinguishing ν ≪ μ from ν ~ μ.
